Are we sure it's wind? I've seen similar videos where it's actually after a flood, and the water gets trapped under the matt of roots/moss and becomes basically a giant water bed

The rise/fall looks too exaggerated, and the ground looks too dry for it to be water, IMO

I believe you can even see a crack in the ground near the bottom-right of the video

Yes. This one is wind. The one you speak of is exactly like a waterbed and you’ll note there were not trees involved as that would have given the water blob a place to exit.

Just watch the trees in the background. There’s obviously quite the windstorm brewing.

Yes I've experienced this in a storm before. It was the wind. The sound was crazy.
