Dust Devil Blows Away Campsite - Wildest Dreams - BBC

Wildlife film-making is one of the most difficult jobs on earth. Thousands want to do it, but few get the chance. For the first time, the BBC has chosen nine people with ordinary jobs to see if one of them has what it takes to become a wildlife film-maker.

@shkljg The most not. they can reach speed of a heavy storm, but the dangerous thing is just the stuff flying around that can hit you. the wind itself is harmless. the most dust devils aren`t that powerful, so there`s no reason to be afraid. I love them. greetings

That, s effed up.I live in the eastern part of the US and I, ve seen one in the parking lot of a farmer, s market.It was a very warm and calm day and all of a sudden I saw a column of swirling rubbish 200 hundred feet high.It was brilliant.

i've seen several similarly sized dust devils while driving around the US southwest. they were always blowing through the scrub so i had no idea that they could lift tents. i have a little more respect for their power now.

@systemaddictshock Although most would wear white to reflect heat however with darker colors, heat doesn't penetrate that deep. Black may be hot on surface but cool on the inside. White may be cool on surface but warm on the inside. Tan or tan-ish clothes is best of both worlds.

While it's true that real tornadoes over deserts are sometimes called dust devils, this was a true dust devil; these are not related to true tornadoes. However, this dust devil was pretty strong, nonetheless.

Oh my god!!
0:11 if I was that poor girl, I wouldve blown away!
it's amazing how she wasn't sucked up, you can see her hair go straight up,
thats only a small tornado but it looks so strong!

Dust devils are immune to Camera magic plus she drew the aggro and nearly got them wiped.

[yodzzz]

[HellsTheYea]

How can she run when she has no idea which way? That thing just stops right on top of her.

Not at all. Dust devils in the desert can have 50-60mph winds in them.

[caseyp]

I wish I could see a Gustnado. Besides, where could you find them anywhere in the United States?

[systemaddictshock]

@QuicksilverdotFX you go out into the desert...about 115F or 46C with dark colors. Let me know how it feels.

[craiger]

Two tents turned over: "an absolute trail of devastation".

You've not left much headroom for the description of actual disasters, have you?

[Sohorolex]

That really is the most amazing footage i've ever seen! They are lucky to be alive, can't wait to see the show.

[greeleykid]

[WyattShipp]

@HueyLewisRocks i got a snow devil on film

[MarkCrowtherTheTester]

Cool. They hould have tanked it and see what it dropped ;p

[QuicksilverdotFX]

@systemaddictshock That is not what i asked. I asked about DARK colors not layers of clothing.
