Insurance company is gonna be “sorry, you weren’t covered for dust devils”.

Bullhead City, Arizona…30-feet from the Sun…15-feet from Hell.

I remember as kids in Phoenix watching our neighbors shed blowing end over end, and landing in our yard-right side up, even. April and May have crazy microbursts some years there

My Mom lived in Bullhead City for many years. She was out in front of her house watching the storm come in and the mobile home across the street quite litterly took off. You get some good storms going up and down that valley.

Lived in Bullhead many years and have witnessed Microbusts & seen damages. Will say this one is pretty wild. Crazy 🤪 hope everyone is safe. I even lost my carport in one of these several years back.

Worked in bullhead for a year. Everyday strong wind and summer was a hair dryer that place sucked.

Ahh yes, Mohave County. Lived there done that. Grew up 1/2 hour drive east of Bullhead City. Dustdevils are not at all uncommon there in that region.
FUNFACT: when I was about 12, I chased after a slow moving defined dustdevil. Per memory it was moving about 8 mph and was about 150 feet high. At the moment I was drenched from washing the family car so when I caught up to & ran inside the dustdevil I got super-caked with dirt. Fun stuff, LOL.

I lived over there for 17 freaking years. Now I live in Ohio Youngstown. Thank God

[tammiebroggins]

It was over 40+ mph winds. It was scary

[fuffoon]

Here it was a rain devil. The neighbor's roof is still in my yard and pool. I imagine it will be a few weeks before they haul it away. There is more serious damage to attend to.

Don't think that was a dust devil! I may be wrong, but it looked like a cat 0 tornado.

[biohazardpyro-B]

Well now we are going through a heavy power outage right now due to a double dust storm and a thunderstorm

[aurelioandrade]

I remember this on the 95 hiway I was taking my son to the Riverside Casino Laughlin Nevada to work this thing was going at 90 Miles right on the middle of the water 🌀

[GFloProductions]

The very next day Bullhead city code enforcement wrote that property a violation

[owengoseyun]

[statuarytuna]

Our dust devils can barely kick up dust

[pachukonight]

Where is the cow 🐮 flying . I was disappointed

[mr.b]

When does a dust devil become a tornado?

[StephenSternforPresident]

When you see one of these wip through n area where you know there's black widows I'm running away from it

[meshathomas]
