A small rotating vortex of wind, also called a crosswind or whirlwind. When accompanied by sand and dust, it is called a dust whirl or dust devil. When it occurs over the ocean, it sucks up seawater and is called a waterspout. Those seen in the central plains region of the United States are slightly larger and are called tornadoes.
