This is the dramatic moment a dust devil tornado picked up debris as it tore across a yard in Thailand.

Video shows the twister ripping up bushes and twigs while whirling in front of a house in Maha Sarakham province, Thailand, on March 28.

It dissipated soon after hitting a thicket of bamboo trees.

Dust devil tornadoes are types of whirlwinds that form when the sun heats a patch of land and the air above becomes warmer and rises quickly.

Cooler air then moves into the low-pressure gap left by the rising warm air. The new drafts of cooler air also heat up and rise and the cycle continues, picking up dust and debris and making the spiral visible.

They are not as dangerous as supercell tornadoes, which can cause severe damage.
