July 24, 2021
A dust devil swept its way through a soccer match in South America. The whirly phenomenon interrupted a futbol tournament in the Bolivian town of Achocalla. Dust devils are little whirlwinds with an upward motion. While usually whirling at under 40 miles an hour, their wind speeds can get up to 80 miles an hour. Also known as sand devils, they’re distinct from tornados, which have a downward wind motion.
