Waterfall in Scotland flows backwards thanks to Storm Henry

A cascading waterfall flowed backwards up the side of a cliff earlier this week, after gale force winds blew the falling water back from whence it came.

It happened on the Isle of Mull in Scotland, where two waterfalls usually plunge down into the sea off of a peninsula known as Ardmeanmach, reports the BBC. This past Monday, intense winds and rain caused by Storm Henry drove the water back up and over the crest of land from which it usually plummets.

A local caught the strange phenomenon on video and posted it to the web, and it is indeed a bizarre sight to behold.

It wasn’t the only unusual weather activity caused by Henry — a rare cloud formation known as nacreous clouds were visible in many parts of the United Kingdom, reports Accuweather.com.

Nacreous clouds form very high in the atmosphere when it is extremely cold, and appear to be streaked in rainbow-coloured patterns.
