In nature, there is a lot of phenomena that have
negative consequences for the people. Time after time the Earth
gives us another proof of his amazing strength.
We need to keep a great respect for the forces of nature,
that at any time and in any place
may prove to be dangerous for us.
Extreme weather events are sudden, intense
and long-term precipitation, storms, floods, strong winds,
storms, tropical cyclones, tornadoes, volcanoes, heat waves and cold and
prolonged drought.
A dust devil is a strong, well-formed, and relatively long-lived whirlwind, ranging from small (half a meter wide and a few meters tall) to large (more than 10 meters wide and more than 1000 meters tall). The primary vertical motion is upward. Dust devils are usually harmless, but can on rare occasions grow large enough to pose a threat to both people and property.
