@stratosranger can they become tornadoes? Are usually completely different?

They are different from tornados in how they form. Most tornadoes are associated with a larger parent circulation, the mesocyclone on the back of a supercell thunderstorm. Dust devils form as a swirling updraft under sunny conditions during fair weather, rarely coming close to the intensity of a tornado. @Viper

I haven't seen any sharply defined dust vortices like that, but I have seen leaves taken up from the ground in a whirlwind pattern, maybe about 4 or 5 feet in diameter. Only lasted a few seconds, however.
