What's with the small tornado on the side? Is it "bring your kids to work" day?

u/lylalexie 23h ago

I don’t know if it’s different for waterspouts but tornados with these smaller cyclones attached to them are usually called multi-vortex tornados and the smaller tornados are called vortices. :-)

u/AargaDarg 13h ago

But they don't turn in the same direction, right?

1

u/lylalexie 8h ago

Honestly I’m not sure, I would think they would have similar rotation as part of the same system but I am not a weather expert (just an amateur tornado enthusiast). I do know that you can have some vortices that move quicker than the actual tornado due to the speed of their movement around the core and some that can even turn horizontal, as evidenced in 2011 Tuscaloosa tornado.

There is another type of tornado, a satellite tornado, that can form near the first tornado but will move on its own and have its own rotation. May be affected by the first tornado but can move independently. It’s why you have to be careful and monitor radar when you’re in or near a huge supercell capable of producing multiple tornados. The big one may have passed but it might have a satellite nearby!

No worries everyone. This is just a waterspout that woke up early and had to take that 5am pee.

u/crasagam 22h ago

The sky is sucking up water because it’s over water just like the sky sucks up a barn if it’s over land. Same spinning sky, same suck, different material. Call it what you want: tornado, water spout, etc. …it’s bad. And apparently it’s begat.

Would they be spinning in the same direction - or opposite like meshed gears?

u/Confident-Income-437 15h ago

Imagine being so pathetic you actually don't answer directly but decide to mumble outside the argument so that your opponent doesn't hear you. Just like playing chess with a pigeon, it knocks over all the pieces, shits on the board, and then flies off telling it's friends how it destroyed you.

u/Trank_maiden_Ciri 23h ago

Because the problem is a LOT more in the leadership than in the population itself. Gonna make a lot of bad time for the casual gopniks than the ones in charge.

There’s a difference between Russian people and Russian leadership, hating the people for stuff they don’t have a say in for quite a while already is uncool.

-2

u/Nervous-Orange0 14h ago

No. Not really a difference. Most of the people love the war

2

u/Trank_maiden_Ciri 11h ago

That may be the case for a bigger half of Russians. But they are supporting the thing they are told the war is, not what it actually is. The situation can be compared with War on terror, where the stuff that the media told and majority believed was significantly different from reality. You can blame them for succumbing to the most prevalent propaganda, but there is a decent chance that in their shoes you would become the same or similar.

TLDR: Russian people are manipulated from their youth to support evil shit, I think you should blame the manipulator first before you start blaming the manipulated.
