A dust devil is much slower.

Dust devils are generally much smaller and than tornadoes. They develop in areas where the sun heats the ground to high temperatures, generating spinning updrafts that lift dust and other light material. Dust devils rarelyproduce damage, with winds commonly ranging from 20 to 40 mph.

Tornadoes may look similar to dust devils, but are far mor dangerous. Even relatively weak tornadoes can produce winds well over 70 mph. In rare cases winds over 300 mp may occur. Most tornadoes develop from supercells, a type of severe, rotating thunderstorm.
