Dust Devil Rips Through Finish Line of Race

[catbyte]

Occurred May 2022 / Big Bear, California, USA

"A huge dust devil landed at the finish line to the Spartan Race Obstacle course race in Big Bear California. The Big Bear Beast Spartan race was winding down with finishers, when the devil landed tearing up metal fencing, finisher photo backdrops, and finisher medal tents, before it careened down the final obstacle of the bucket carry. The Big Bear Spartan is known for being one of the toughest races Spartan hosts- now it can boast its first “Spartanado” during a race. No one was seriously injured, and the race continued and Spartans made there way through the mess."

1. WOw.

Several years ago, I was operating a sandwich stand along a busy touristown street. It was a shed set up in a small vacant lot but the rest of the street was lined with solid buildings. One day, one of those dust devil things came roaring up the street, bounced off the building across the street knocking down a couple trees, then attacked my little hut! By the time was able to close all the windows I had paper cups, plates, napkins and dust swirling around me at and amazing speed! I had to close for a couple hours just to clean up and collect the parasols down the block, never found the flag.

I can totally relate.
