Original Note:
That was a dust devil, not a tornado. Dust devils are small whirlwinds caused by hot air rising quickly from the ground. They are relatively harmless and short-lived, unlike tornadoes, which are violent rotating columns of air extending from a thunderstorm to the ground https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dust_devil https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tornado
