Swirling winds at the confluence of the Tonle Bassac and Mekong River Tuesday afternoon created a tornado-type funnel cloud that sucked up water and awed passers-by on Phnom Penh's riverfront but caused no damage, witnesses said. Pin Sisolen, a former Cambodia Daily staffer, witnessed the vortex, commonly known as a water spout which formed over the Mekong River shortly before 1 pm. "It was like the air whirled up the water," he said. "According to tradition, it is like a dragon playing in the water." Seth Vannareth, head of the government's meteorology department, said that the phenomenon was not a tornado. "It was just a low pressure system called an intertropical convergent zone," she said. A statement from the Ministry of Water Resources and Meteorology said that this low pressure system will affect, southern and coastal Cambodia until Friday, bringing with it increased rainfall and windy conditions. "Travelers should be careful—especially on the water," Seth Vannareth warned.

My grandfather had a fish farm, and was competing the the larger farms owned by sihanouk's relatives. On day that Dragon tail, flew over the competitions fish stock, suck the farm dry and dumped all the fish into my grand fathers pond.

The owners took my grandfather to court, and accused him of black magic.

thats a lame excuse, black magic? WTF are Cambodians dumb? Im not saying Khmers are, im saying dumb @$$ people in Cambodia who believe in black magic and stuff like that, its no wonder we arent progressing anywhere, put some sense into your dumb asses and think.

hahahaha, WITCH!!

If this is dealing with rural folks then, yes .. they believe creatures like aap exists ...

U have to know that... many Cambodians r still living in the past. I mean that, they are not well-educated... so, they still believe more in religion and black magic.
