That is from a couple of years ago and was not too far from my house.

Here is the thread from last year when we chatting about it and the links to the new article are in it as well.

I was thinking about that video this summer while watching the all the dust devils in the SW deserts. I ran into several, or they ran into me, while driving the motorhome and got shoved around quite a bit. I got into the edge of one while riding the motorcycle - I was seeing how close I could get to them as they crossed the roads and fields. I even deliberately stood in the path of one while trying to get to Oz one afternoon. They make neat sounds though when they're about 50 feet away.

Tornado's though..I'm not going to mess with those.

The tornado was bad enough. The rest of the train coming at the loco would scare the crap out of me!
