From the “you just don’t see this everyday” department…a local storm report from the NWS Birmingham tonight…
…2 NNW of Uchee Creek [Russell Co, AL] emergency mngr reports NON-TSTM WND DMG at 02:40 PM CDT — portions of a mobile home roof were destroyed from what witnesses described as a large dust devil. firefighters arriving on scene described debris swirling over 100 feet in the air.
I have seen a few similar reports iof damaging dust devils n my weather history studies…but to have one right here close to home is unusual.
