Cloud like scary cannons appeared in the sky of Japan

A light-colored tube cloud, stretching down to the ground from the cloudy gray sky in Niigata City, Japan, surprised many people.

1. The mystery and the irresistible beauty of nacre clouds
2. White rainbow, glowing sky, thunder storm and the most bizarre weather phenomena in the past year!
3. The width and path of radioactive clouds if North Korea tests the Pacific thermonuclear bomb

This strange natural phenomenon does not last long. In the video, the cloud tube begins to fade from the ground and spread to the top, it seems to be washed away. In just a short period of time, all of the tubular clouds dissipate to their roots and then connect to the gray mother cloud at hundreds of meters high.

According to meteorologists, this interesting phenomenon is an example of a funnel-shaped cloud, a cloud that emerges when a swirling wind spins around the water column by many drops. This strange cloud is often the starting condition for forming tornadoes. If this cloud reaches the ground or water surface, it will become a tornado or a water cannon.
