A towering dust devil tornado terrified drivers when it was seen spinning along a roadside in Thailand.

Footage shows the 60ft tall column raging next to the highway as motorists passed by in Maha Sarakham province, Thailand, on February 27.

It stayed on the spot among the bushes and did not cross the road.

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.
