Hi. My name is Patrick and several months back, I experienced something that ever since, have not been able to explain.
What happened to me took place after quite a few days of partying while on Meth. So that's why I am undecided on what I was seeing or not seeing.
After being awake for so long, I was finally driving home one morning, when the environment outside struck me quite awkwardly. Tornado-like funnels were all over the fields off the expressway, and were even sweeping across the road. They weren't TORNADOES though! It was like wind funnels, but not dangerous enough to cause any true damage. There would be a funnel cloud, and then the funnel-like wind would drop down and, if it was going over trees, would pick leafs up with it. You could see the leaves and dirt form along with the funnel.
Everybody on the expressway that morning was driving at least 100mph, and I couldn't even keep up with most of them. You could feel your car being toyed with slightly by the "wind funnels." When I arrived at home, I was in a complete panic. My mother tried to settle me down, but she didn't understand what I was trying to get across. She said it was too cold out for tornadoes. (A few days prior, we had a tornado warning though.) After I took my mom for a ride, in attempt to show her what I was seeing... I sat on my front porch and watched the funnels carefully. A few times, I would see one coming from across the neighborhood, or down the street.. and I could see the tops of the trees swaying. At one point, as a funnel approached my yard, I could see the grass it was going over press down as if it has pressure on top of it. When the funnel approached me, it was slightly windy and I could feel like a water vapor on my skin.
Nobody believed me though. Nobody else could see this. My being able to see these funnels carried on well into the night. Everybody that knew about that, to this day, claims that I was hallucinating. I don't know whether or not I was. I can't explain what happened. That's why I'm asking you. Was there something that I was able to see that people who weren't in that state of concentration couldn't see? Or was I just going temporarily insane? Help if you can.. reply anyways. Thanks
I doubt the occurrence of your experience, especially when keeping the meth in mind.

Make poverty history.
In Australia there are weather phenomenon known as "Willy Willy's" that are in essence very small, weak wind funnels that go about, and can appear in most climates. Of course I have never seen or heard of there being more then 3 or 4 together at once (the conditions don't really allow for it) but they exhibit features similar to what you are saying, although they are generally short lived, like forming and going with 5 minutes at least (although some last for hours). There aren't really tornadoes, and although the ones here aren't very big, you can usually spot them... so I am not sure why, if they did exist no body else saw them.
I think the name comes from Aboriginal mythology, something to do with mischievous spirits...

I think it could have been a bit of both..you could have been seeing swirling dust about the meth could have heightened the sensation making it more dramatic in your mind than it truly was
When your all messed up like that you have whats called reoccurring themes. You probably did see one if not more dirt devils small little vortex's of dirt we have them in KS all the time. But the meth then caused you to hallucinate the rest of them its actually pretty common in that state don't be alarmed. And eat a banana you probably just should.
