#3: The sinkhole fumble
Imagine driving down the road and suddenly encountering what looks like a crater from another planet.

The sheer size and sudden appearance of the sinkhole were enough to make anyone’s jaw drop. Let’s watch it back... WOW! It’s incredible how quickly nature can transform the landscape.
#2: Bizarre debris flow in Nebraska
Coming in at number two, we have a bizarre debris flow that took over a Nebraska field this summer. This wasn’t your typical debris flow; it was filled with hail, creating an otherworldly sight. The video captures the sheer force and unusual nature of this weather phenomenon. It’s not every day you see a field covered in hail, moving like a river of ice!
#1: Mesmerizing rainbow cloud in Vietnam
Our top spot goes to an enchanting weather phenomenon that looks like it’s straight out of a fantasy novel. A rainbow cloud was caught on camera in Vietnam, captivating viewers worldwide. This stunning sight is caused by diffraction, a phenomenon that occurs when small water droplets or ice crystals scatter the sun's light. The result is a breathtaking display of colors that seems almost too beautiful to be real.
