Meteorologist's Close Encounter with Intense Dust Devil Caught on Video

An Arizona meteorologist, Tyler Maio, was caught inside an "intense" dust devil while fishing near Silverbell Lake in Tucson. The incident was captured on video and shows Maio being enveloped by the cyclone of dirt and dust. Dust devils are typically small vortices of dust and debris that are much smaller in size and intensity than tornadoes. They usually last for a few minutes and rarely cause any significant damage. Maio recommends anyone who finds themselves in one to get low to the ground and cover their face.
