Yeah it is real all right. I had no idea that happened overseas.
That is actually not a tornado. It is called a Gustanado or a "dust devil".
We get those all the time down here in az. One time when I was a kid riding along down I-10, off the freeway a ways out there were like 3 of these all separate just fuckin shit up. They arent too powerful but can pick up patio chairs and shit.
People not from here get scared as fuck of these.
When I was 7 and just moved to tucson to live withmy mom one of these started in my cultisack I lived on. I was in awe. I tried to throw my baseball at it and it didnt get sucked up. After that I ran inside telling my mom that there are tornados in AZ!. lol
