I'm so skeptical of anything I see on the web these days that I can't say if it's real or not, but even if it's fake it's cool.

That is a true "Dust Devil." Fairly common in west Texas, & out west, etc.
Sometimes you might see mini-devils, in a parking lot or another open space. Leaves, dust and trash blowing around in a circle...then calming down. Usually happens on windy days.
I believe the above video to be real. I have seen those before, although not quite as big as that one was. They can be destructive, as you see, although not as bad as one in a thunderstorm.
Makes me want to run toward the middle of it while singing..."Tornado!...Tornado!..."
