After being out in a plowed over corn field today, and it having dry soil with dried corn shucks out in this field and somewhat of a light breeze, not even 10 mph, and a September sun with temperatures in the mid 80s, I live about 35 miles from Memphis Tn. I saw more dust devils today than I have in the last several years combined. Many of these were small. Some were pretty good size though. I also noticed that they formed in roughly the same area. Three or four traveled the same path within maybe 100 feet of each other. They all with the exception of two or three would move west. I saw I think, 3 of them in succession. Watching them was really cool. I also like getting out into the center of 'em. But I got to thinking after seeing so many today (about 15 in the 30 minutes I was out there) that they may be more common than what I had earlier thought. You really can't see them except the debris they pick up and swirl around. (DUH!) What do you people think about their frequency?
