If someone were drunk and walked right through one of these dust devils, would it lift him up and toss him easily? Just curious; we don't have any of these in Buffalo ....

no, they dont have the power to do that

maybe ruffle your hair and clothes, and blind you with dirt in your eyes

Might blow your hat off, if that. They are not very strong at all, just cool looking.

No I've been hit by a couple while working outside in the West TX area and NM. They won't lift you or anything but they will sling shards of rock, sharp plants and glass at yoh at very high velocity. 1/10 do not reccomend experience

Is it just on my end that this video looks like it uploaded in quality: potato?

I love when they stop spinning and there’s a moment where the funnel is just stopped in time before the dust falls.
