Swirling Vortex


The water was rushing down what appeared to be some kind of black hole. The lake’s water was being pulled deep into the hole, swirling into it at full speed being strangely pulled in by some unknown force, but how had this bizarre occurrence come to be?

Come Closer


David decided to investigate further. He lowered his drone closer and closer to the mouth of the monstrous hole. Suddenly, the force became too strong and the drone was being pulled into the hole. “When I lowered the drone into the ‘Glory Hole,’ it became unstable and almost crashed into the side,” he explained. In a panic, David began to struggle with the drone’s controls.

What Happened Next?


Lake Berryessa has approximately 521 billion gallons of water. At its fullest capacity, the surface of the reservoir will then rise to over 400 feet above sea level. Yet if it reaches its limit, the excess water needs somewhere to go, but where? Did David’s drone get swallowed up by the vortex?
