The facts took place this Monday, June 7, in Lys-Haut-Layon in Maine-et-Loire. A passerby filmed an astonishing meteorological phenomenon : kind of dust whirlpool, also called “dust devil”.
As reported West France, this phenomenon is similar to a mini tornado. The said passer-by, named Grégory, confided his astonishment to our colleagues: “I thought I saw thousands of birds circling over a field. I stopped and looking closely, I realized that this was like a mini tornado spinning hay. “
The one who was then in his car immediately got out of it, to immortalize the scene. “I felt the wind pick up. It was weird because there was no wind at all. It was moving and it even passed over me, but it was not very violent “, he specifies to the local daily. The previous day, he assures to have observed the same similar one, but this time within his commune, in La Tourlandry.
