A tall twister ripped up a roadside just feet from passing drivers.

It spiralled high into the sky in front of a building.

The dust devil churned up the ground and was filmed by a shocked onlooker in a car.

The difference between dust devils and tornadoes is that they grow upwards from hot air near the ground and not down from the clouds during a storm, as reported by What’s The Jam.

The Met Office says on its website: “This phenomenon is an upward spiralling, dust filled vortex of air that may vary in height from a few feet to over 1,000.

“They mainly occur in desert and semi-arid areas where the ground is dry and high surface temperatures produce strong updrafts.

“Unlike tornadoes, dust devils grow upwards from the ground, rather than down from clouds.

“They only last a few minutes because cool air is sucked into the base of the rising vortex, cooling the ground and cutting off its heat supply.”
