In Viral Video, Breathtaking Bird's-eye View Of Tsunami Over Austrian Lake

Thanks to the internet, often we can witness things we may never experience ourselves. One such thing is the magnificence of Mother Nature, as we shouldn’t be caught in it. A video is garnering a lot of attention online, depicting tsunami-like waters falling from the sky. Yes, that is exactly what you read.

Nature can be very unpredictable and this viral video is a dangerous example. The video was posted on an X (formerly Twitter) account, carrying the username @CosmicGaiaX. The 12-second timelapse clip starts with a scenic view of a mountainous region, with a lake at its base. Dark, bluish-grey clouds gather in the sky and while they move forward, it starts pouring. The pour is not your usual droplet rain, it is more like a wall of water, coming down from the sky and hitting the lake. The view gives a brilliant visual but it is better to stay away from such regions. From another perspective, it looks like the clouds above have burst. The clip was shared with the tweet, “Tsunami from Heaven.”

Netizens share their reactions in the comment section below. The first user writes, “In Venezuela, it rains like this for 10 or 15 minutes and then as nothing has happened.” A second user stated, “Nature is such an awesome force to behold. Great post.” A third netizen expressed, “Wouldn’t want to get caught in that. Wow.” And a fourth user wrote, “That is so beautiful!” The tweet has gained over 153,000 views and has been liked thousands of times. According to the source tweet, the video is from Lake Millstatt in Austria and Peter Maier is the one who recorded it.

Back in 2022, a similar video went viral online, the only difference was that instead of a mountainous area, the cloud burst was captured over a bustling city. Shared on Reddit, the clip showed scary, dark clouds, causing a terrifying pour over the city.
