Sudden Whirlwind without rain and big tree gets lifted up out of the ground

In Georgia the weather can be unpredictable at times.

Like this SUDDEN WHIRLWIND without rain on Friday, June 19 of 1998.Quickly I grabbed our video camera and exited through the veranda door to capture our trees bending in the wind.A very dramatic sky came suddenly...Next I walked to the wood garden, across the creek where Pieter was working and he showed me a tree that got lifted out of the ground by this strong wind.Pieter shows that he can place his fingers into the opening created .If you click on YouTube watching you can see at clickable 2:23 how it is lifted up a few centimeters.Good thing is that both of us are not scared... 😜

That looks very dangerous. We're having high winds this very day here.

God bless.

You two were either brave or foolish. LOL. I'd have been taking shelter somewhere safe from possible falling trees!

My co-worker's sister-in-law actually was killed in a freak accident a few years ago; she was out walking the perimeter of a golf course on a windy morning when a tree fell on her. So take care if you and/or Pieter are out in a wind storm again, Mariette.

En algunas zonas de costa, a veces sopla un viento fuerte que te puede tirar al suelo. cuando alguna vez me ha cogido caminando me he parado y después he seguido mo camino.

Hello Mariette, That is some quite dramatic footage--it has that "end of the world" feeling to it. I wonder if that wasn't a dry downburst. When I lived in Ohio, we had one once that downed over 100 trees in my yard in just a few seconds.

oha das sieht sehr gefährlich aus... Mein Vater warnte mich: "Wer sich in Gefahr begibt, kommt darin um!"
Liebe Mariette, Gott sei Dank ist Euch nichts passiert. Ist denn der Pavillon ganz geblieben?
In Ostfriesland tobte im August 2021 ein schwerer Tornado, der 50 Häuser brutal beschädigt hat! Ganz schrecklich für die Menschen, die dort wohnen.
Ich freue mich dass Dir die Geschenkverpackung gefällt und Du sie auf Pinterest gepint hat, Danke dafür. Bin auch dort, aber schon lange nicht mehr aktiv. Deine Aktion hat mich aufgemuntert und ich habe aktualisiert und folge Dir jetzt ;-)))
Dir und Pieter eine angenehme Adventszeit, holt jo munter un blievt gesund!
Herzlich Traudi.♥
