An unusually large dust devil was caught on video as it swept down Shuswap Avenue in Chase on April 24.
鈥淚t was very large. It probably went up to 80 or 90 feet we figure,鈥� said Todd Finn who witnessed the towering funnel of dust along with his son Cole and his friend Marvin Knorr.
Finn said it was a calm and sunny spring day when all of a sudden a gust of wind carried enough dust into the air that they mistook it for smoke. Before long, the dust had formed into a swirling column starting in the parking lot of the Chase Pharmasave. Todd said it lasted more than six minutes before dissipating.
Cole captured the dust devil on a cell phone camera as the trio watched from safely down the street.
