WATCH: Dust Devil Captured On Video In Taunton
TAUNTON (CBS) -- Video of a dust devil was captured in Taunton earlier this week. A viewer sent WBZ-TV a clip of the dust-filled vortex along Route 44.
The swirling dirt may look like a tornado, but they are much smaller in scale.
Dust devils usually happen along different types of surfaces, like the edge of a road when the ground is warmer than the air above it.
They typically last a few minutes before falling apart.
