Massive dust devil (Outpost Autosub @ Burning Man 2006)

We witness a massive dust-devil that tears across the playa destroying everything in its path. Okay, so it really only just got everything very dusty, but hey. The other version sounds more dramatic...

is the dust devil and tornado are the same???

[rangerpretzel]

nope. this dust devil, while probably the same size as a tornado, just does not have nearly the same power. I'm sure there are some that are more powerful, but all the ones I've experienced at Burning Man just blow a lot of dust around...

@aquarianbabe

True, on rare occasions dust devils can reach intensity equivalent to an F0/EF0 tornado, but they are not rated as such.

Fujita scale ratings only apply to tornadoes.

@dragonridley I don't know, but I was out in one and it beat the crap out of my kite, dragged me across the ground and tore up a couple trees along the way. So, it might have been an F0. I know I shouldn't have been out in it.

@aquarianbabe

Dust devils are not rated on the Fujita scale. An F0 tornado can actually cause damage.
