Video shows 'reverse waterfalls' flowing backwards in Australia and it's very 2020

In 2020, even waterfalls flow backwards. At least, they do in Australia.

An aerial video tweeted on Aug. 9 by 7NEWS Sydney shows several “reverse waterfalls” in Royal National Park in New South Wales.

The video shows water pouring over clifftops — and then swiftly curving back up and falling on the land as a mist.

The reverse waterfalls look mystical, but they were caused by 70 km/h winds battering the coast, 7NEWS reported. A severe weather warning for heavy rain and damaging wind gusts was in place in the area at the time.

Hundreds of residents living on the coast of New South Wales were even forced to evacuate their homes, 7NEWS reported , as heavy rain lead to floods in the area . More than 13,500 lost power, but the evacuation order was lifted on Tuesday.

Social media users were mesmerized by the video, with many remarking that the stunning phenomenon was very on brand for 2020.

However, once the heavy wind died down, the water resumed falling.
