TAKING THE HEAT OUT: Deaf Woman Performs 'Boiling Water Challenge' Using Sign Language
This video shows a deaf woman from Nebraska making the most of a terrible winter blizzard that claimed the lives of many by performing the 'boiling water challenge'.
The challenge involves throwing a cup of boiling-hot water in the freezing air and watching it instantly turn to vapour.
Renca Dunn, 35, a reporter for the Deaf news portal 'The Daily Moth', used sign language to explain the experiment while her roommate, Heather Suhr, stood behind camera and filmed the peculiar phenomenon.
The video, which was obtained by Newsflash, shows Renca stepping out on her balcony during -17 degrees Celsius weather and tossing a cup of boiling-hot water in the air.
The outside appears to be so cold that even Renca cannot stop herself from immediately changing her expression as soon as she walks out.
In the video, she notes it is important to splash the hot water away from her face so that she doesn't accidentally injure herself.
Then, she watches on as the steaming-hot water from her cup instantly evaporates and disappears into the air.
In the video caption, Renca wrote the scientific reason behind the strange curiosity: "According to National Geographic- the cold air cannot hold much water vapour as warmer air so the tiny water droplets start to evaporate."
The 35-year-old doctoral candidate at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln, who comes from Nebraska, USA, told Newsflash in an interview: "Blizzards are common in the Great Plains (Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, etc).
"We usually get snowstorms and ice storms, but it is not always as severe as the recent one."
Renca told Newsflash: "[During the blizzard] the temperature for my area was -4 Fahrenheit (-20 Celsius) but with wind chills of -30 Fahrenheit (-34 Celsius)."
Shockingly enough, Renca said those temperatures were considered to be somewhat warmer than previous days - when temperatures had dropped down to -11 Fahrenheit (-23 Celsius) with a wind chill of -50 Fahrenheit (-45 Celsius).
The winter storm was so violent, in fact, that when it moved over to the New York area, it took the lives of dozens of people.
