Is it true that dragons in Guangxi are absorbing water?

On June 7th 1 1: 40, a towering water column attracted many people to watch. According to eyewitnesses, the top of the water column is connected with the clouds, and the bottom of the water column hangs directly on the sea surface, sometimes straight and sometimes curved, which has also aroused quite a few waves near the sea surface. Onlookers took photos and shared this "spectacle" through their circle of friends.

Officers and men of a detachment of Guangxi Marine Police who are carrying out maintenance on board also witnessed this scene. An officer said that the sky was a little gloomy at that time, and the "dragon absorbs water" was clearly visible to the naked eye. The whole process lasted six or seven minutes. The officer said that although he had seen similar scenes while patrolling the sea before, the sudden water column surprised everyone.

"Dragon Suction" is actually a tornado that happens on the water. When a tornado passes through the water, the instantaneous wind force sometimes reaches more than 12. Due to the high air pressure around the tornado and the low air pressure in the middle, seawater is sucked into the middle hole of the tornado, forming a water column, which is connected with the cloud, commonly known as "dragon suction".

A meteorologist said that tornadoes often occur in thunderstorm weather in summer, and it is normal to have tornadoes at present, which is a period of frequent strong convective weather. According to the monitoring, the "sea tornado" in a corner of the earth has a small scale, a short life span and little impact.

The marine police department reminded that ships operating at sea should pay close attention to the weather forecast. "Dragon suction" is dangerous to some extent, especially large-scale "dragon suction" can easily lead to the capsizing of ships. In this case, it should be bypassed as soon as possible.
