Hacía 25 years in Lake Texoma, in the US, is not such a huge vortex formed. Then, as now, the lake reached historic levels due to heavy rains. And then, as now, it was necessary to open one of the dams to unload its huge volume of water.

The operation has resulted in a large whirlpool. Authorities say it could swallow a pleasure boat and ask the population to stay away from this strange hole that seems endless.

The vortex has caused a sensation in social networks once published the video by the Corps of Engineers US Army in the district of Tulsa. The hole is 2.4 meters in diameter and is capable of swallowing an entire ship.

The engineers claim that the vortex is a perfectly understandable phenomenon. “It’s the same as when you fill a hot water at home and [opens] the drain will cause a vortex or swirling,” he said the portal Business Insider assistant director of the lake, BJ Parkey.

Lake Texoma is one of the largest in the US and water accumulates there frequently from Denison Dam, located on the Red River. When the water rises too high, the Army opened the floodgates in the bottom of the lake to drain into the river.
