Dust Devils Lift Coal Dust Into Air Over Louisiana Town

Spectacular footage captured two dust devils lifting coal dust high into the air at a coal export depot south of New Orleans, Louisiana, on Sunday, June 23.

The videos of the towering whirlwinds were captured by Terry Bolden Jr, who referred to them as “coalnadoes” and said he had “never seen them this tall.”

According to Bolden, the whirlwinds formed about 90 minutes apart – the first at 9 am and the second at 10:37 am. Credit: Terry Bolden Jr. via Storyful
