Says in the details, it happened 2 hours after the quake.

Believe it or not these whirlpools are common along some coastal area as underwater currentsd snag up on ground projections etc.
In BC they are common along the northeast coast of vancouver island.....Which is why they blew up ripple rock with the biggest non nuclear explosion yet years ago.....This was north of campbell river on van island. the water will come up again sometimes miles from the whirlpool.

WOW, bump

Wow. I was just watching this on CNN. It looks like someone pulled the plug on the bathtub drain.
Is there a giant hole that opened up on the sea floor after the earthquake?

They had one in Santa Cruz too, I saw it on the news. They are being hit right now.. Boats loose and one is sinking. Water is really muddy brown. Crazy

I think it's now safe to say that we are experiencing something out of the ordinary, I am betting that this year is going to get very interesting.

I previously felt that the 'events' of late were nothing too unusual and could be explained away, but there is just too much going on around us for everyone to keep fobbing each other off with so called facts and figures.

Earth is telling us something, and probably something we don't want to hear.

That whirlpool looks stunningly devastating

Anyone know what happened to the boat?

berkeleygal, any links for your claim yet? I can't find verification on this...

Here's the Japanese youtube video embeded:



Yellowstone, San Andreas fault zone, and Long Valley all shook up pretty good!

I agree. i feel somthing big is going on, I hope we are wrong.
Queensland Australia is experiancing flooding again. third time in less than 6 months, so much for once in a hundred year flood

im tending to believe it has somthing to do with our sun, it looks very active at the moment.

and all the recent quakes have happened in the day light

I notice the whirlpool is moving counter clockwise are all the whirlpools that have been reported moving in the same direction? different directions depending where they are at? Whats a whirlpools common rotation or does it even have one?. Anyone know more about whirlpools. Because I heard depending on where you are in the world your toilet water flushes in a different direction is this true?..and does it apply the same to a whirlpool

reply to post by dadfortruth1


The whirlpool was created as the flood waters started to receed back into the ocean and coming across a strong natural current at that location. Pretty awesome sight never-the-less!

This particular vortex is caused by two different currents meeting, however there are many causes for whirpools in nature. It happens when a fast moving current collides with a slow moving current (probably slow because of the gradient of the earth underneath it), which causes the fast moving current to bend around the slow moving current. This then causes the slow moving current to go round and round because the faster current has more energy, thus making it impossible for the slower moving current to "escape" the faster.

The water isn't going down some hole to the core or anything, it will simply be dispersed in all directions once it reaches the "bottom".

Yeah I second that...what happened to those poor people on the boat.

A sincere thanks to everyone who explained how whirlpools are caused. I didn't know and appreciated the free education. I'm glad to know that boat at least wasn't getting sucked into a giant hole. Yeah...my education is that deficient, at least in this area of knowledge.

Well it might not have had anybody onboard, which i'm guessing as the boat didn't look like it was trying to escape and the engines weren't going. But if it did have people onboard, hopefully they got the engines started and got out of the pool, if not they would have been sucked down to the floor...
