Dust Devil

A Dust Devil is like a mini tornado made out of sand/dust. They're usually harmless and small, but even when they're big they rarely cause any sort of damage. Here they're always small, because there's a lot of buildings and crap to get in their way on the base that slows their growth.

Basically, they look like a cartoon tornado, or the tazmanian devil's lower half when he's travling... hey maybe that's why he's got devil in his name...

Sometimes I see them in the distance, but the other day we were driving around and saw one about half a block away. So, in true, storm chasers fashion, we chased it, and took a few pictures.
Yeah, it's not the best dust devil in the world, so what?
Watch out MWR Gym! You're about to get gently pushed by some wind!
Oh the humanity!
This picture and the one above it are the two best ones, I think.
Dust devil powering down...
If I see any better ones in the future I'll be sure to get pictures of them. Until then, abgudleafahg!@%#$@!^! That's Tazmanian Devil for "stay classy".
