Today we stopped in Hurricane, UT on our way to Zion NP. DW took the dogs out to relieve themselves, I stayed in the truck. All of a sudden the wind picks up, I glance out of the right windows and see a mini tornado only about 50 feet away headed right for me. Debris, pebbles and other stuff began swirling around. I quickly closed the truck windows at which time the dust devil hit the truck and trailer. I actually feared that we may get knocked over it was that intense. After it passed seconds later my wife shows up completely disheveled as she was stuck outside with the dogs. They were pummeled my the dust devil and in fact a metal garbage can went flying over their heads. She ran back to the truck, all of them scared from their misadventure, but fortunately no worse for the wear. My wife's wind created hairdo was a sight to behold!

It was so funny that I read about this thread before we headed out, and within 24 hours we were victims of this freak of nature!
