Whirlwinds

As it is getting closer to rainy season, we have stronger winds. Which is nice as it cools down the weather a bit at least. I don't know how, but sometimes it creates also whirlwinds and these are also getting stronger and stronger. It is very beautiful to see it from a distance- how it grabs big dry leaves and circles them around in the air while moving fast forward, but it is very funny to get on its way. It has happened three times with me. First time was during examinations.We were sitting and listening to presentations from students and as it was hot, we had all windows opened. Suddenly we heard the noise and all we could do was to turn back to it as it was just rushing trough the classroom. In from one side and out from the other side. The funniest part was to see us after that- all dirty, classroom covered with leaves, our table as medium sized potato field- ready to grow the crop and the student who was in front of classroomcompletely untouched! It was sooo funny.

The second time it happened, it was again inside, this time in my room while i was eating lunch. Again in from one window and out from the other. My soup got a nice dust flavour and I had a major cleaning action after that.

The third time happened the day before yesterday- i was on my way to toilet and i saw it coming. I was nearly hit with a shoe that it was carrying, but bathroom door stopped it. The shoe dropped while the wind was rushing forward and in two minutes, all that was left from this whirlwind was the lonely sad shoe. I wonder if the owner misses it.

And yesterday, some idiots were burning grass late in the evening and the winds got stronger so they lost a bit control and it became really big. Of course,the wind was towards our school. Spooky, but nothing luckily happened. Still... very irresponsible!
