HUGE DIRTY TORNADO!! Aka Dust Devil!!

We were driving to Los Angeles and saw this Tornado ripping through an Oil field somewhere in the central valley...Is it a dust storm or a Tornado? I dont know, it was pretty big.

She must not remember it correctly then. naderchaser is right, although skies may have been clear for most of the day, there most definitely was a thunderstorm overhead when the tornado struck.

btw a supercell is by definition a type of thunderstorm.

And btw....this vid is of a dust devil...period. There are no thunderclouds in the sky (at least that we can see), which a tornado NEEDS to be born in and descend from. This is one big d-devil, for sure. If drive a Ford 1-ton truck with 4 rear tires. It's heavy..and stable. This dust devil would likely kick my truck from one lane to the next. It would be dangerous. Those old VW camper vans?? This thing would blow it clean over. I'm from Az., and have driven thru a hundred of 'em.

Well, I guess since I've been responding to some people's questions in paragraphs, your comment is aimed at me. First off, I'm no high school dropout, just a guy booted out of his frosh year at college for being a wee bit wild. BUT...I HAVE educated myself about tornadoes by being a hard-core tornado chaser for over 20 years. I fly to the midwest every May for a month and chase with one of the premier chase teams in the country. I've written only to help clarify things. How 'bout you, buddy?

[naderchaser]

Where in Az. are you from?

[azdrifter520]

all these high school drop outs need to stop trying to act smart on youtube.just because you can write a paragraph doesnt make you look any smarter you stupid fuck

HM3JOHNSGIRL: With total and complete respect to your Mom.....she is incorrect about that. What she MAY be remembering, is that often prior to tornadoes blue skies. Often all afternoon. BUT...after the sun beats down on all that humidity, huge storms can blossom in upwards of only 20 mins, sometimes. I have seen that myself. But guaranteed...the F-4 DID come from a thunderstorm. Perhaps there were no lightning bolts at the time, but the funnel was born in a T-Storm, and snaked it's way down.

That's not true, on April 3rd, 1974 my mother lived in Monticello Indiana and a tornado wiped out basically the whole town. There were a few clouds in the sky but not a thunderstorm. It wasn't raining and it wasn't doing anything but windy. My mother tells me that one every year.

[naderchaser]

NO NO NO, tornadoes absolutely, positively, cannot form from a blue sky. A true tornado ALWAYS is connected to a convective cloud....generally...and I DO mean generally....a strong thunderstorm or a supercell. Dust Devils need not a cloud in the sky to form. I live in So. Arizona. In the spring, you can sometimes see 10 strong ones at once out in the cotton fields and scrubs between Tucson and Phoenix. All the are is heat at the ground rising upwards in a spinning fashion. Trust me on this.
