A waterspout.
A funnel-shaped or tubular column of rotating cloud-filled wind, usually extending from the underside of a cumulus or cumulonimbus cloud down to a cloud of spray torn up by the whirling winds from the surface of an ocean or lake.
There are several holes of the size of carabao wallows on Basilan said to have been made by a buhawi' where it hit. Some people believe the buhawi' to be water suddenly bursting from the ground like a spring after a big rain. The spring is said to usually stop after a week or so. One man claims to have seen a buhawi' like a “beam” of water hitting the ground causing a landslide and a hole in the ground, during a strong rain. The wind was not very strong.
Palowang bulakin bakas kalabo'an buhawi'in.
The earth is hollowed out where the waterspout occurred (lit. where it fell).
