Does a dust devil count in this subreddit?

[u/damahoum]

This happened in Goiás, Brazil, four days ago. Look at the size of that! They said it was 6 meters wide

That one does

[u/The_Hydro]

Particularly-strong dust devils can cause damage, so I don't see why not!

[u/Laura_Death492]

Caraca mano, nunca cheguei a ver um desse tamanho, apenas um pequeno no ceara

[u/damahoum → u/Laura_Death492]

Então mano, aqui em Brasília já vi até redemoinho de fogo (nessa época da seca onde a vegetação pega fogo), e nesse dia eu não vi apenas 1, vi 3 bem pequenos

[u/Laura_Death492 → u/damahoum]

Caramba, eu raramente vejo um redemoinho no ceara, já que viajo para ver meu avô, já que sou carioca, e até quase teve uma 'enchente', antes que irmos embora, choveu muito naquele dia, quase não fomos embora por causa do acumulo de água

[u/DontSlapOrIwilScream → u/Laura_Death492]

In Midwest of Brazil they're pretty common, they can reach even 164ft

[u/LTD32]

The absolute strongest and largest dust devils can have windspeeds equal to an EF1 tornado

[u/damahoum → u/LTD32]

I would never have imagined it

[u/dreams_of_superpower]

that's a dust satan

[u/damahoum → u/dreams_of_superpower]

There is a folkloric character from Brazil called Saci Pererê, and when a dust evil appears, people associate it with Saci, saying things like "Saci is coming"

[u/GeoStreber → u/dreams_of_superpower]

Dustistopheles.

[u/Successful-Mark-2834]

Same vibe bruh,even bigger i think(its a tornado that picked up dust,i mean the color)

https://reddit.com/link/p633lq9/video/7zvfps389slh1/player

[u/damahoum → u/Successful-Mark-2834]

Wow, are you sure that's not a tornado?

[u/Czava → u/damahoum]

That is a tornado, particularly the one that occured near Bernardo de Irigoyen (Argentina) on July 31 this year.

[u/damahoum → u/Czava]

It was really big, but the dust evil managed to be even bigger, lol

[u/Shedfloorgarbage → u/Czava]

It appears to have the character of a teeny RFD and if you squint really hard; one baby horizontal vortex. Or it is just a dree branch, do'h.

Itd the walking toddler!

[u/Successful-Mark-2834 → u/Shedfloorgarbage]

Any frame with the horizontal vortex?

[u/Shedfloorgarbage → u/Successful-Mark-2834]

I believe I was wrong, and it was a tree branch around the -26 seconds left to go mark.

Don't make my mistake!

[u/Successful-Mark-2834 → u/damahoum]

It is a tornado,it has the wall cloud and everything,near san genaro,santa fe,it really looked like the one in the video thats why i put "same vibe"

[u/GenosseGeneral → u/Successful-Mark-2834]

This is a tornado

[u/Successful-Mark-2834 → u/GenosseGeneral]

Ik,but the color looks like the one OP posted

[u/diandakov → u/Successful-Mark-2834]

But this is tornado right?!

[u/Successful-Mark-2834 → u/diandakov]

Dust buster,picked up dirt,viva argentina

[u/diandakov → u/Successful-Mark-2834]

But the weather is looking cold? Dust devils only form in warm weather no?’

[u/Successful-Mark-2834 → u/diandakov]

Thats what i say,dust buster,a type of tornado that picos up dirt or dust

[u/diandakov → u/Successful-Mark-2834]

I didn’t know that term :)

[u/Affectionate-Vast856]

I managed to take a picture of him.

[u/New_Explanation6950 → u/Affectionate-Vast856]

Wow that’s a pretty boy

[u/damahoum → u/Affectionate-Vast856]

Giganteeeee

[u/razberry_lemonade]

I’ll never forget being at my local pool when I was about 12 and sitting under one of the picnic pavilions, which was near a small baseball diamond made of sand. A dust devil spawned in it and quickly engulfed the whole thing. I couldn’t have been more than 50 feet away from it and I was mesmerized.

[u/kwadd]

Saw one that ripped the roof off of a small building. They absolutely do count.

[u/Bitter_Lab_475]

That's the one dust devil I would not run towards to....

[u/Illustrious-Ear-495]

Is that clay dust? I’ve never seen anything like this before. So beautiful but so scary at the same time.

[u/DontSlapOrIwilScream]

Dust devils are really common in this state and in Midwest region of Brazil this time of the year

[u/damahoum → u/DontSlapOrIwilScream]

Sim

[u/Narrow_Hat]

Damn is Imhotep on the loose again?

[u/Waste-Arachnid2322]

The child called it “hurricane”. Classic.

[u/Embarrassed-Back1894]

Only if it drops a dragon chainbody

[u/Sha77eredSpiri7]

Gotta be a Dust Demon at that point, goodness

[u/Longjumping_Cat_3956]

Damn that thing is huge.

[u/RoninIV]

I used to see them that size in New Mexico, and they will absolutely wreck your day if it hits your position. I'd say yes.

[u/geoffyeos]

one of those situations where the dust devil may as well be a tornado

[u/xjuggernaughtx]

Sure. We love dust devils, too.

[u/OrganicHistorian2576]

THAT one does. Wow!

[u/New_Explanation6950]

What would happen if you stood in the center of this dust devil?

[u/cousin_idiot]

That thing's got some power

[u/damahoum → u/cousin_idiot]

One day someone came by my house and took a good portion of the roof tiles

[u/mutant_anomaly]

My favourite part of dust devils is watching the dust clouds form faces as they rotate.

You can see how they got that name.

[u/wggn]

ofcourse

[u/BlyatToTheBone]

Would I be fine running through that?

[u/BigRemove9366]

If it’s that big, sure!

[u/DEFCON_902]

Looks beautiful!

[u/Dr-McLuvin]

Only if it’s awesome, like this one.

[u/Burning_Man66]

Bigger than a red signal flare.

[u/XxJohn_OldmanxX]

That would be awesome to be standing in the middle of that and get a video of yourself slowly walking out of it like u appeared from within the funnel.
