  • is this a quiz?? just from reading up a dust devil forms from down drafts of very low ceilings which only occur during hot or warm days. I dont believe they reach more then a few hundred feet or 60 meters high. tornado or water spouts can probably reach a few thousand feet high and form in the actual storm or front and usually create a vortex horizontally and slowly rotate in a near versicle position just before touching ground. if it doesnt touch ground or water its just a funnel cloud.

  • The dictionary definition of a tornado is incomplete. According to NOAA, "A tornado is defined as a violently rotating column of air extending from a thunderstorm to the ground." So this is not a tornado.

  • A spiralling wind like that is not considered even a tornado unless it is from the ground to the cloud cover of a supercell storm. No matter how large it is, if it doesn't touch both of those at the same time, it is a dust devil

  • It's a dust devil, and to wheatie5,,

    dust devils: A small whirlwind over land, visible as a column of dust and debris.

    Also a twister and a tornado are the exact same thing...

  • @joham22, no offence but 1. tornadoes even an F1 can rip off roofs from houses. 2. waterspouts are only on water. 3. yes, its a dust devil

  • I dont see tornado..

  • If it was tornado then the truck wouldve been sent flying, if it was a waterspout the truck wouldve fallen over. Dust devil 100%
