Photographer RJ Hooper was stunned when his drone captured a waterfall, normally flowing off of a cliff in Kayenta, Utah, actually blew upward, into the air and backward.
The event in January of 2023 was due to a very strong wind that day, with gusts up to 60 mph, causing updrafts that pushed the stream of water up in dramatic fashion.
The wind speeds were strong enough that the drone was facing difficulty flying.
Take a look at the beautifully captured video of the unique event here.

Amazing. I would be wondering about what was happening.
That was a beautiful scene but there is a natural falls & river in New Brunswick, Canada that flows backwards all the time!
Cool
