Strong winds at the Beekman Country Club in East Fishkill lifted a golf cart and knocked it over, injuring and briefly trapping two Westchester men as they started their game at the first tee, Sgt. Kevin Keefe of the East Fishkill police said.

The National Weather Service in Albany said a "dust devil" might be to blame.

"According to witnesses and the two golfers, there was a funnel cloud," Keefe said. "What we had was, a weird little wind event, we'll call it."

National Weather Service meterologist Joe Villani said a "dust devll" might have flipped the golf cart.

Dry, clear conditions combined with wind and sunlight can cause "tiny little formations" that Villani likened to eddys, which can have "enough velocity to move objects." Villani added that dirt devils are common in the plains states and midwest.

I've seen dust devils and they don't move anything other than dust around.  Hints the name.
