In an interaction with News 4 Jax, Zoya said, "I was scared and I got afraid if someone would pull me out.

The child said that he felt that he was there for 10 minutes, though he was there only for a few seconds.

"I couldn't breathe that much," he told the station. "So I held my breath and I feel like I couldn't touch the ground. So I kind of lifted up a little bit."

After the incident, the 7-year-old went back to playing his favourite sport.

Zoya's father, Brian said, "A kid that just had the presence in mind to just do that it's just special to see. It was pretty cool to see yesterday. He had great parents raising him."

Dusk Devils usually form on sunny, hot days with light winds.
