Hah, well, there are basically much, much smaller scale 'tornadoes' that we call 'dust devils', or other terms... they're usually only the size of about a person, maybe as tall as two people, they're formed by other kinds of climate/weather conditions, and tend to dissapate in under a minute.

You could probably 'pet' one of those, though you may lose your hat, 'get your feathers ruffled', so to say.

You want a "Dust Devil," they are kinda baby tornados that exist in the US south west. Maybe wait a few years to visit though. The tornados are currently one of the least dangerous things about visiting.
