RARE PHOTOS: Moment mini tornado dust devil hits yard as workers on break | Rare Historical Photos

This is the moment a 'mini tornado' dust devil hit a work yard in Southport.

Jamie Church, who works as a nurseryman in Southport, was on shift between 3pm and 5pm on Thursday, June, 16, when he saw a mini tornado start to form in the work yard. At the time Jamie was on a break with colleagues as the dust in the Churchtown yard stared to spin.

The 37-year-old managed to catch the spiralling dust devil on his phone, which he has shared with the ECHO. The footage shows dust spinning in the yard, which was the height of around six lorry trailers.
