Dust devil
A dust devil is a strong, well-formed, and relatively long-lived whirlwind, ranging from small (half a meter wide and a few meters tall) to large (more than 10 meters wide and more than 1000 meters tall). The primary vertical motion is upward. Dust devils are usually harmless, but can on rare occasions grow large enough to pose a threat to both people and property.
They are comparable to tornadoes in that both are a weather phenomenon of a vertically oriented rotating column of wind. Most tornadoes are associated with a larger parent circulation, the mesocyclone on the back of a supercell thunderstorm. Dust devils form as a swirling updraft under sunny conditions during fair weather, rarely coming close to the intensity of a tornado.
Names
In the southwestern United States, a dust devil is sometimes called a "dancing devil". In Death Valley, California, it may be called a "sand auger" or a "dust whirl".
The Navajo refer to them as chiindii, ghosts or spirits of dead Navajos. If a chindi spins clockwise, it is said to be a good spirit; if it spins counterclockwise, it is said to be a bad spirit.

Dust Devil
by: MadnessSpy the little whizzkid, yeah she's streets ahead
On top of the daybreak and the last one to bed
Keeps her gizmo under her pillow
Little dust devil whipping up a storm
Paving the way for dropouts
She's equanimous to the norm
Come early evening, well she's banging off the ceiling
And I said, "Come down, I am missing you
If these little fingers could paint you into my picture"
I said, "Come down, I am missing you
If these little fingers could draw you into my picture"
Holds the toilet seat around her neck
Writes the landlord out another open cheque
Come the daybreak, well she's a self-made
And I said, "Come down, I am missing you
If these little fingers could paint you into my picture"
And I said, "Come down, I am missing you
If these little fingers could draw you into my picture
They surely would"
And I said, "Come down, I am missing you
If these little fingers could paint you into my picture"
And I said, "Come down, I am missing you
If these little fingers could draw you into my picture"
I said, "Come down, I am missing you
If these little fingers could paint you into my picture"
I said, "Come down, I am missing you
If these little fingers could draw you into my picture
