You Don’t Want To Be Out On This Lake Right Now If You Can Help It
Earlier this week, tourists spotted not just one, but three waterspouts forming simultaneously on the surface of the lake.
“Water tornados,” as some call them, are formed by a convection current of warm and cold air over a body of water.
While three waterspouts might seem insane, it’s not actually the most that Qinghai Lake has seen.
Back in 2014, onlookers saw nine simultaneous waterspouts spring up on a particularly stormy day. That’s pure nightmare fuel, folks.
And they’re not all that uncommon elsewhere, either.
These were spotted near a beach in the Netherlands.
I would not want to be out waterskiing during this one in Florida.
Have you ever been on the water during one of these?

This Huge Wildfire In Canada Is Surely What The End Of Days Will Look Like
If you haven’t heard already, a large swath of northwestern Canada, near Calgary, the energy heartland of the country, is currently in flames. A fast-advancing wildfire is threatening thousands of homes and lives. The images coming from the front line of the fire are absolutely devastating. This is what I imagine the apocalypse will look like…
The fire, which started Sunday, has only grown in intensity. So far, it had consumed 18,500 acres and forced the evacuations of at least 88,000 people.
The majority of those evacuations have taken place in and around the city of Fort McMurray in Alberta, Canada.
That number of evacuees is expected to climb as fire conditions continue to worsen over the coming days. Thankfully, though, a break in the unusually hot and humid weather is expected over the weekend with a chance of rain.

In addition to destroying close to 1,600 buildings in the Fort McMurray area, the fire has also forced much of Alberta’s lucrative oil production to a halt. Many oil companies not directly impacted by the wildfire have also chosen to cease operations fearing future highway closures.

While the cause of the fire is unclear, many have already blamed the worsening conditions on climate change.
Luckily there have been no casualties directly related to the fire, but evacuation centers near the blaze are close to full and many are running short on food and water.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Canada. Let’s hope the rain this weekend will make it easier for crews to get a handle on the blaze.

Someone Captured Absolute Perfection In Manhattan Two Days Ago. I’m So Glad They Had A Camera.
New York is “The City That Never Sleeps” and, when you’re not getting a full eight hours of rest nightly, you end up seeing a lot of things. For better or for worse, if it exists, a New Yorker has seen it–and probably on the subway during the wee hours of the morning. Rainbows, though certainly not a common occurrence, are nothing new to NYC, so if a Manhattanite takes time out of their day to take a picture of one, you know you’re dealing with something special. And this picture of a rainbow, which Redditor cbarney took from her Midtown West balcony, is something special alright. Take a look!
Here it is!
Aaand that same view at night.
That was quick.
If, somehow, you still aren’t impressed, you should know that the picture was taken with an iPhone. I guess working with a magnificent meteorological phenomenon and The Greatest City in The World can make anyone look like a pro! Share this picture and watch even the most seasoned New Yorkers become awestruck.

Recently, The Weather Conditions Were Perfect For This Mind-Blowing Phenomenon
Sometimes winter isn’t all that bad.
Case in point: when the sun sets in a cold environment, it reflects against ice crystals that manifest in the air. The collective surface of these ice crystals acts as a mirror to the sun and other light sources (like street lamps), reflecting their light into the image of pillars reaching for the stars.
That’s a lot of sciencey-sounding stuff, but all you really need to know is that light pillars look cool as hell. Check out these pictures taken from people all over the world!
It’s understandable why some people think these are UFOs.
Amazing.
(via My Modern Met)
So even though winter is sometimes a mushy mess of discolored snow on the ground, up in the sky it’s a heavenly light show for the gods. If only there was a way that I could see a light pillar without leaving the warmth of my apartment…
