Once on scene, firefighters treated four people for minor injuries.
A video posted to YouTube by adsport.com [@AdSport] shows tents and canopies being tossed around the property by the strong winds:

Must admit I got a Hardy laugh from that. Sorry someone was hurt but it was funny.
The person in a cow costume was a nice touch.
LOL , yes it kept showing up, looks on some of their faces were priceless.
BFL
Hmmmm. It's just wind. And there HAS been a COLD FRONT in California this week.
The deserts OFTEN have "dust devils" blowing the sand around. I've seen those a lot...hot, dusty air swirling around. It's just a weird weather phenomenon...all just WIND.
I guess they don't call the wind "Mariah" anymore. :o)
Dangerous wind, did you watch the video?
When we see them in the desert they aren’t blowing around the debris and tubing that we saw in this setting.
Wish it would have happened to that fag float last year.
You know, I was just trying to remember that last time there was an earthquake during the parade.
Dust Devils occur on Mars, also, at a temp of -100. Just need a column of warmer air (doesn’t take much).
Couldn’t really say cuz....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sReW8bb_8eE
Well...it was snowing in San Diego County today....
It`s a rare sight in Southern California but snow fell in Murrieta and down into many areas of San Diego County....up to 5 inches in the hills around Temucula
Last year a dust devil hit my son’s middle school, in Los Angeles county. About 60 PE students had notebooks and such grouped together on the blacktop. All the notebooks and such flew high up in the air and papers and binders fell back down on the kids and/or blew away. The lecture notes they had taken were unrecoverable.
I can readily imagine what a wind like that would do in the Rose Bowl.
Many years ago I was doing some field work in the desert and was using a dot-matrix computer with a bunch of z-fold computer print-out paper. A small dust-devil came up and I hunkered the best I could over the equipment. When it had passed it had about 30 feet of paper up in it!
Snow in San Diego is VERY rare. Brrrrr!
I hope the central valley farmers had time to cover up/warm and/or save some of their crops.
Wind is one thing but if it’s COLD and blustery, that’s not so nice. BRRRRR!
Have a friend that lives in Lake Elsinore and it snowed all night there. She said it even ‘stuck’.
I confess that husband and I laughed quite a bit while watching that video. I hope no one was seriously injured. The cow was pretty funny, too. And there is some colorful language in the YouTube video of this event.
