Most of the people who live in the area haven't heard about it. I asked my mom about it today and she laughed. So I don't know if the story is true or not.

Yep it is, link is above. But another link had this to say...

Witnesses, including two adults, reported the trampoline was lifted as high as 25 feet, Sheriff's Capt. Bob Stancel said.

"One man saw the whirlwind, then he saw the trampoline fly up into his view," Stancel said. "He said it was as high as the trees."

The trampoline landed partly on a highway with the girl pinned underneath, he said.

The swirling wind might have been a "dust devil," a localized, spinning pocket of air, said Jim Assid, a National Weather Service technician.
