The power of turbulence, shown in this clip via market volatility, impressed Leonardo da Vinci:

“Amid all the causes of the destruction of human property, it seems to me that rivers hold the foremost place on account of their excessive and violent inundations…

Against the irreparable inundation caused by swollen and proud rivers no resource of human foresight can avail;  for in a succession of raging and seething waves gnawing and tearing away high banks, growing turbid with the earth from ploughed fields, destroying the houses therein and uprooting the tall trees, it carries these as its prey down to the sea which is its lair, bearing along with it men, trees, animals, houses, and lands, sweeping away every dike and every kind of barrier, bearing along the light things, and devastating and destroying those of weight, creating big landslips out of small fissures, filling up with floods the low valleys, and rushing head long with destructive and inexorable mass of waters.”

From the Notebooks - Leonardo da Vinci
