Yes, by far. Even a strong dust storm is unlikely to do more than break a few windows and peel some shingles.

An F3 tornado can tear walls from a well-built brick house, demolish weaker structures, and throw cars and trucks.

How can you tell what kind of tornado is happening?

In terms of the Fujita/Enhanced Fujita scale rating, you cannot simply judge the intensity based on the appearance, but generally, rapid rotation and large debris indicate an intense tornado. In terms of type, large tornadoes and tornadoes connected to wall clouds are usually supercell-type tornadoes. Tornadoes that appear to consist of a tube of dust may be landspouts.

What is the strong tornado that forms a cloud of dust when it makes contact with the ground?

A strong tornado that forms a cloud of dust when it makes contact with the ground is called a "dust devil." Dust devils are relatively small whirlwinds that occur in arid or semi-arid regions and are driven by intense heating at the surface creating updrafts. Unlike tornadoes, dust devils are not associated with thunderstorms.


Why is a dust devil not a tornado?

By definition, a tornado connects to the cloud base of the thunderstorm that produces it, while a dust devil is not associated with any clouds and does not go high enough to reach cloud base. Additionally, dust devils are weaker than tornadoes. In rare instances a dust devil may be strong enough to cause minor damage, but most are harmless. Tornadoes, by contrast, nearly always cause at least some degree of damage.
