a whirling dirvish is the same thing as a dust devil..... ( like a mini tornado usually seen in dessert or country regions only a few feet high )
not powerful like a tornado just swirling dust
have you ever seen a dust devil? those things can be as small as a couple inches and up to staggering heights of atleast 100+ feet
Driving acroos the united states and living in Arizona few a number of years
I have had my run in with those things on an occasion or two
they hurt

yes they are not as strong as a tornado, they can cause some damage, sometimes serious
