The Devil, You Say

trickykittyYesterday while coming home from work for lunch, I saw a large dust devil (not to be confused with dirt devil) crossing the street I was on. It was about 20+ft tall, just slightly taller than the buildings right there which are 2-story warehouse types.
I woke up this morning think about that dust devil. Of course, we only call them dust devils because it's the dust that gets caught up in the vortex that allows us to see the swirling air. This morning I was picturing a person just standing around while a more or less dust-free cyclone came swirling by. The person would be hit by a lot of wind with hair flowing around everywhere. I figure it would look a little like Drew Barrymore's character in Firestarter as she's walking away from the flames behind her and she's looking all powerful.
So, we need to learn how to predict these things, especially the clear cyclones, and then have a mob of people listen and watch as somescapegoat person professes to be a messiah just as they get hit by a cyclone.
"Can you feeeeeel eet? I can feel it! See my hair flopping in the wind and yours is not? That's the GOOD LORD telling you I'm the one! I am come! - Voodoo Majik!"
