Thanks to the internet, we often have the chance to witness awe-inspiring natural phenomena that we might never see in person. A viral video is currently captivating viewers with its portrayal of a spectacular event resembling a tsunami, where water appears to cascade from the sky.

Nature's unpredictability is on full display in this viral video, which was shared on X (formerly Twitter) by the user @CosmicGaiaX.
