Another children's bouncy house takes off with a boy and a girl and they were seriously injured. The bounce house got caught in a dust devil where the wind can roate 60 mph, which is very common in Arizona. The house carried the children in three lanes above traffic. This is the second time this year that a bounce house went soaring. A 10 year old girl injured her head in February when she fell out of the bounce house when it was lifted by a dust devil.
