Playful Martian Dust Devils

The Martian atmosphere lacks the density to support tornado storm systems, but vortices are nevertheless a frequent occurrence. As sun-warmed gases rise, neighboring air rushes in, bringing with it any twisted shred of vorticity it carries.

New Achievement Unlocked:

Standing in the middle of a dust devil while holding a horse!

So, I had Copper tied to the trailer while I was brushing her. And all the sudden a wind picks up.

I look up just in time to see a dust devil (a tiny desert tornado) forming, not 30 feet away from me in the neighboring scrapyard.

I yank Copper's slip knot just as she starts pulling back and snorting.

I hang onto her lead, close the door to the trailer tack room.

And then the thing rolls over us.

I'm looking around and the sand is just WHIRLING around us. Tracing fast patterns on the ground. It was wild.

Copper held it together like a champ. Aside from a little snorting and Big Eyes, she didn't freak out.

Then the thing passes us and moves on.

Copper was SUCH a good girl about it. She was still a little wary afterwards, but she stood fine for me to finish grooming her. I wish this horse would tolerate trail rides, because she is pretty damn unflappable. I'm also glad it was her and not Sierra. Sierra's pretty smart and is getting better about Weird Stuff, but I have a feeling she would have lit out for Mexico if she'd been the one tied to the trailer when it hit.

Anyway, that's a new life experience for my list. I've had tornadoes pass nearby. And I've had dust devils hit the house. But I've never experienced one literally rolling right over me outside. And definitely never with a horse, lol.

The anthology Mystery in Space 68 was published with a cover date of June 1961. In the segment The Sleeping Peril from Mars, a pilot Captain Alan Woods was about to become the first human to reach Mars. He made his historic journey in 1981.
