Yes, there have been reports of individuals getting caught in strong whirlpools while swimming or boating. These whirlpools can be powerful and dangerous, pulling objects or people down underwater due to the rapid circular motion of the water. It is important to exercise caution around whirlpools and be aware of their presence in certain bodies of water.

What happens when you go into a violent whirlpool?

Just like a land based tornado, the rotational current is far more powerful than the updraft, so you are most likely going to be picked up on the outer current , "orbit" the tornado, and be tossed away. Also the sea water will be rather dangerous around it so you will likely drown.


In theory if it were possible to do so and one could paint a black hole would it look like an enormous smooth ball or would its surface be rough and strewn with debris?

As you say, in theory, if it were possible....... This is the heart of the matter. It is not really possible. But as an analogy, if you think of a whirlpool, you can't see or paint that either, what you see and can paint is the effects of the whirlpool on water and things floating or living in the water and their behaviour as they are attracted to and sucked into the whirlpool. A black hole is a place of infinite gravity where even light cannot escape - so there is nothing to see. But all known and observable black holes have a huge accretion disk where the matter and energy being sucked in speeds up to incredibly high speeds and covers vast areas of space. The black hole in the centre of our galaxy is not active (feeding) and has no accretion disc but can be observed by the very odd behaviour of the stars around where the black hole is believed to be. I hope this helps a bit.

Where do you go when you get sucked into a Whirlpool?

When you get sucked into a whirlpool, you are typically caught in a powerful circular water current that can pull you down or around. The experience can be disorienting and dangerous, as the water can drag you underwater or push you toward the center. If you manage to stay calm and swim parallel to the shore or toward the edge of the whirlpool, you may be able to escape its grip. However, it's crucial to be cautious, as whirlpools can be unpredictable and strong.
