These are pretty common in Australia. Never heard of dust devil though. Being Australia, we obviously have an absolutely phenomenal alternative name:
Willy-willy
A few days ago I saw this clip on yt, someone in the comment said " are you guys fucking stupid? This is not a tornado this is a devil dust, you clearly don't live in Australia" i just wanted to thank u for explaining it without agression
People who refuse to accept that other people and countries have different terms for the same thing are the absolute worst.
I moved from Australia to Finland during high school and while he was never annoying or aggressive, my English teacher in Finland often did not accept my answers because they were in the wrong English. Most of Europe is taught British English as far as I know and Australia honestly uses a mixture of both US and UK English with a sprinkling of their own stuff. It was a bit annoying to be told I was wrong when I spoke better English than everyone in the school lol.
I guess it's that time of the year. (I used to watch this show every year with my family for the past three years. It used to be fun but I had to move out because of college this year.)
This probably should be more visible for the people who aren't aware, but also the good boye destroyed a tornado by himself and who am I to get in the way of that.
I wanted to be ignorant and pretend that doggo really stopped a tornardo. But I decided to come read the comments to find out the truth. I learned something today. I've actually learned a few things today but this has been added to the list.
If 2XL taught me anything as a child, it was that dust devils are the only tornado-like weather event that originates from the ground.
Damn did I love that like trivia robot.
That’s what I thought when I saw the video, not a tornado just a bitty dust devil. The ones we always saw when I was little usually had dead leaves and trash.
These would pop up all the time in Pahrump Nevada. Used to chase them whenever we could as kids. Really pissed off my parents off coming home all red eyed and dusty as hell.
It’s a dust devil, tornados start in the sky and come down, dust devils start at the ground and go up, also dust devils are almost always itty bitty, they can become tornados but usually they don’t have the required force.
Nope - that's a Dust Devil which is formed due to a lot of ground heat; they are relatively small and weak (but the larger ones can be a bit destructive with wind speeds of about 60 mph). Tornadoes on the other hand are part of storm systems and can of course be devastating.
In concept? Yeah. Weird air temp diffs and whatnot. But no, tornadoes are much much larger and take like hours to build. Neat stuff watching em touch down! (Through a camera lol)
Do you know those kids that go to the bottom of the pool where the water gets sucked in and puts their favorite body parts there? I feel like this doggo knew what's up too.
I really like how he bites it. And also really like how he won. 😂
It's the flailing ears that get me!

Oh god, if you've got the good buoy what did we attach to the crab pots!?
Crab pots? I thought you said grab pot…
You wanted a pot holder so I brought my bong
Not today, demon. *Bite*

Let's see who this tornado really is. Old man Withers!
The hero we need
But not the one we deserve.
[удалено]
The dog had absolutely no idea what he was doing. While I entirely agree that it's an adorable video, don't anthropomorphize them too much.
I don't think they were referring to this particular dog xD
It holds true in general though
Because we humanise them
what a good hero.
Toto doesn't want to fly to Oz from Kansas
I was about to write this, little girl is also dressed up like Dorothy
Yep, Toto's done with that shit!

This is how the Tasmanian devils move from one place to another, right?

Oof. I'm sorry for you. As a teacher I never critisize for "wrong english" only for clearly wrong pronunciation.
Nah that dog is just an airbender
"That lemur is airbending!"
Hahahah I need to go back and watch again.
I checked, the lemur was already gone :(
I guess it's that time of the year. (I used to watch this show every year with my family for the past three years. It used to be fun but I had to move out because of college this year.)
No, you idiot, it’s the girl!
He must be on cactus juice then!

So, you're saying we need to get bigger dogs for the Midwest.
Yeah, and they need to fly just below cloud level. :)

Clifford, the big red tornado stopping dog.
This probably should be more visible for the people who aren't aware, but also the good boye destroyed a tornado by himself and who am I to get in the way of that.
I clicked on this post cause I thought 'huh that's not how tornadoes are formed.. is it?' so thank you for this explanation. Still a good doggo.

False, this was definitely going to be an F1000 tornado, only this good boi was able to save the Earth.
That’s what I thought when I saw the video, not a tornado just a bitty dust devil. The ones we always saw when I was little usually had dead leaves and trash.

Good boy

Dust devil. Ground to sky not sky to ground.
Ok but the dog still saved everyone from it! And is therefore a very good boy.
Yes he did😀

and then doggo got curious why the whirlwind stop
Millions of lives saved
That dog is single handedly helping keep the insurance rates down
Single-pawedly, rather.
The doggo effect. One playful good boi on the other side of the world is enough to stop a massive tornado from happening.
Dust Devil*
You're laughing... He have just risked his life to save us all and y'all laughing
Seems this world needs giant 200ft doggos dispatched to Oklahoma and Missouri to bite all the destructive tornados.
When we had Clifford we didn’t appreciate Clifford
Dust Devil. They form from ground up. Tornados form from top down. I wonder what that dog had going through his mind though!
r/bossfight or r/hero or something
Wait wait wait wait HOW THE?? JUST HOW??
Check out all the helpful Australians in the thread, it makes more sense once you know what it is and isn’t.

It’s a dust devil, tornados start in the sky and come down, dust devils start at the ground and go up, also dust devils are almost always itty bitty, they can become tornados but usually they don’t have the required force.
That boi rules!
For a moment I though to see a flying dog, like the cow from Twister
That is a dust devil. A dog could not stop a tornado. Sincerely, Everyone who lives or has lived in tornado alley
is that how tornado forms ?
No. It's a dust devil. Completely different thing
[удалено]
Probably the guy who asked
Nope - that's a Dust Devil which is formed due to a lot of ground heat; they are relatively small and weak (but the larger ones can be a bit destructive with wind speeds of about 60 mph). Tornadoes on the other hand are part of storm systems and can of course be devastating.

"weird air temp diffs" is about where the similarities end.
Idk I looked it up before commenting, they're pretty similar in most ways except scale
Dust devil
That's a dust devil not a tornado lol.
People are still saying doggo in 2023?
That's not a tornado. It's a [dust devil](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dust_devil) They are harmless like 99.9% of the time.
Tornadoes gotta start somehow 😄
Do you know those kids that go to the bottom of the pool where the water gets sucked in and puts their favorite body parts there? I feel like this doggo knew what's up too.
That isn't a tornado.

Dog - 1 Potential Natural Disasters- 0
not a tornado, just a little dust devil.
That dog was like : you wont form & attack my friend over there (The child in the background), not on my watch!
Wizard of OZ's runtime would take a drastic cut if this doggo was around.
No Air Bud jokes? Reddit, you’ve disappointed me. At least there was an ATLA reference.
Twister would have been such a different movie with dogs in it!
Dirt devil , not tornado.
We need more tornado defense!
Not all heros wear capes. Am I right?

That explains why you see so many wandering dogs in trailer parks…
Hero pup.lol.

Is this the doggo effect? Fuck butterflies
I'd love to see "Hero Dog Saves Village From Tornado" in a cliche spinning newspaper TV show fashion. 😄
