The video above showed footage of a dust devil spinning across the ground in a Philippine school, shocking students and adults alike.
The reddish funnel spins rapidly on the ground, chasing some people during its track while disappearing and reappearing multiple times.

Nobody was harmed in this event, but bigger dust devils are capable of injuring bystanders and even causing some damage. During a festival prior to January's Rose Bowl Game in Pasadena, California, fans were sent scattering when a dust devil flung tents in the air. Four people were injured.
Dust devils have also been known to suck up "bouncy houses" while kids were playing inside. KTRK-TV reported in October of last year that one such event occurred in Sao Paulo, Brazil, when an 8-year-old boy was hurt after being thrown from a bouncy house that was lifted off the ground by a dust devil.
