Okay, If You Like Amazing Videos
How about this...

A tornado comes out of nowhere during a Japanese soccer match. Not just like a little whisp of wind like what you'd see in a parking lot on a windy day - I mean a full-out HUGE tornado!

1. That is one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen
There wasn't even a cloud in the sky. It just appeared out of nowhere. Weird.

I think Lord Voldemort or somebody must have been pulling some weird mojo.

2. It is a Dust Devil not a Tornado
both of which are different from gustnados. They are all different phenomena.

Take it from somebody in crazy red f*cking JOklahoma who has observed them all up close and personal.

3. Holy crap!
I thought you needed a rainy day to have a tornado! The sky were blue and that thing came outta nowhere!

It's good that no one got hurt. :D

5. Holy crap!
That happened in my back yard once. Everything on one side of the house ended up in rooms on the other side and we just sat on the deck and watched it go on for several miles. It was really neat when it hit a construction site. Not too big, just big enough and the sky was as clear as could be.

6. Are they dangerous?
Are they as powerful as a tornado?

7. No
it is much smaller or at least not supported by the same forces as a tornado is. It picked up some pretty big things, moved them around. In my back yard I was digging a garden and some pretty good dirt clods went up about 3 feet. Every now and then we get these, usually smaller that this one in the video and you can run into them and get spun around. I have seen some incredible ones in Utah but here in Kansas it is usually a tornado but the occasional dirt devil is fun.
