SEE IT: 'Dust devil' forms over ball field in Brooklyn's McCarren Park

MICHAEL WALSH

Looks like even Mother Nature wants to see what the buzz on Bedford Ave. is all about.

A tiny twister was spotted spiraling over infield dirt in Greenpoint's McCarren Park about 3 p.m. Sunday.

Michael Gambale, 34, who captured the moment on video, was sitting on the grass with friends after brunch when the whirlwind known as a "dust devil" spiraled through.

Small dust devils are cute. I've seen those all my life.

I think they are cute as well.

We had a tornado 20 blocks n8rth of here in 2007 and a funnel down the block 4 years ago.
