I've driven a tractor through a dust devil, not on purpose. I was mowing, it was hot and dry and then all of a sudden, I was engulfed in swirling debris.

I'm trying to understand why they would be running towards it in the first place.

It's the eye of the storm mentality, being in a tornado without having to worry about the wicked witch of the west. There were parts when I was in it that I thought "wow, this is very interesting".

It looks like a dozen-ish guys were out there with him.

They remind me of the folks who, when an approaching tsunami sucks the water back from the coast, run out to pick up the stranded fish.

When your bored, your bored. Not really going to get hurt. I have run into some, but that one was pretty good size.
