That’s a huge dust devil, people! I was parked, there were two pickups to the left and this huge whirling devil not far from me. I hoped it wouldn’t turn and blow over my truck, it might damage the sheet metal! The freeway is the westbound side of the 215 freeway which loops around the valley, it’s not complete yet.
I didn’t realize that dust devils could be potentially dangerous. But then again, I wouldn’t want to bit hit by all this dust and small debris!
Omg are dust clouds normal there?
Yes, it’s just another dust devil swirling across the desert floor! They can get quiete large too but not dangerous. A few weeks ago, we had a huge dust storm though, the mountains vanished because of the amount of dust in the air. This happens infrequently as far as I can remember.
Wow that’s kind of scary but glad they’re not really dangerous. How interesting though!
I have never heard of anyone here being injured by these devils, yay! 😂
I agree with your friend, it does not look pleasant at all in that dust cloud! Stay safe 🙂
I was safe inside the truck, it will get a bit dirty though! They are common during the hot summer months. The hot air mixes with the cooler air and generates the dust devils.
Doesn’t look very pleasant in that dust cloud.
I’m certain that it would be unpleasant!
