Japanese Tornado

I've been very busy with other work type stuff. I just came across this video though. It's weird.

It's a dust devil in Japan. From Wikipedia: "Dust devils are usually harmless, but rare ones can grow in size to threaten both people and property. They are comparable to tornadoes in that both are an unusual weather phenomenon of swirling air vortices. Tornadoes form as an updraft attached to a wall cloud at the back of a thunderstorm. Dust devils form as an updraft under sunny conditions during clear to fair weather, rarely coming close to the intensity of a tornado.... On rare occasions, a dust devil can grow very large and intense, sometimes reaching a diameter of up to 300 feet (90 meters) with winds in excess of 60 mph (100 km/h), and can last for upwards of 20 minutes before dissipating."

More gay stuff tomorrow, promise.
