| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] Three tornadoes passed over Lake Ladoga at once. They were captured on video by eyewitnesses, reports the Telegram channel "112". The published footage shows three vortexes moving over the water surface. The sky against their background is covered with black clouds, and on the lake itself one can see strong waves caused by powerful gusts of wind. The region is currently experiencing severe weather: thunderstorms and showers. According to available information, no one was hurt as a result of the tornadoes. At the same time, experts previously spoke of record warming on Lake Ladoga. Scientists have noticed that over the past 30 years, the duration of the warm period of the year in the area of the reservoir has increased, and winters have become much milder. Climatologist, biophysicist and senior researcher at the Institute of Biophysics of the Russian Academy of Sciences Alexey Karnaukhov said that global warming in different regions can lead to the emergence of dangerous natural phenomena. These include floods, forest fires, severe droughts, hurricanes and tornadoes. The expert added that their intensity increases over time. At the end of June, residents and visitors of Sochi were warned about the threat of tornadoes. In the middle of the same month, such natural phenomena were filmed on video over the Black Sea in Tuapse. One of the whirlwinds leaned heavily toward the ground. |
