Apparently this is caused when two winds travelling in opposite directiosn colide. It was an amazing sight until the "travelling dust" hit our vehicle as it moved from one filed "crossed" the road and hit the field across the other side of the road

Malagasy, combo of inidians and africans. If you lsiten carefully to their language you can the odd swahili sounding word. their music is a kind of very fast Rwanda and it was fascinating to see the white guys trying to catch up with the girls!

In the USA these kind of winds are known as tornados and they can destroy a town or rural area when they are powerful.  In the USA they have sirens to warn the ppl to go in the basement to escape the wrath of mother nature

Thanks for sharing your pix
