Strong winds create reverse waterfall in England

Well, isn't this odd?

In the Peak District of England there is a waterfall where the water doesn't actually fall.


Officially known as the Derbyshire waterfall, it's also called Kinder Downfall. The water here usually cascades down about 80 feet from this fall. But a natural phenomenon occurs when high winds hit the area and updrafts force the water to blow back upstream - resulting in a sort of reverse waterfall.


The winds seen in this video are believed to be remnants of the recent Hurricane Gonzalo. Whatever their origin, these wind gusts reached 50 mph creating a mist that can reportedly be seen several miles away.


This video, posted by Rod Kirkpatrick, an English nature photographer, reminds us that no matter how much CrossFit we do, nature will always be stronger.
