Waterspout Tosses Farmers, Destroys Trees in Telangana Forest

Imagine a really strong, swirling column of water from a river that touched the ground like a tornado.

This happened near a village in India called Telangana.

Four farmers were working in their fields when this giant water-whirlwind came towards them.

It was so powerful it lifted the farmers up high in the air, like toys, and then dropped them.

They were terrified and thought they might not survive.

They managed to save themselves by holding onto a strong tree.

The waterspout also destroyed many trees in the forest and scattered the farmers' equipment, like carts and pipes.

Thankfully, the animals were okay, but the farmers were left in shock after their dangerous two-hour ordeal.
