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!
Wind is one thing but if it’s COLD and blustery, that’s not so nice. BRRRRR!
