It's a tornado (maybe a non-supercellular tornado called landspout). It's quite common for landspouts to have narrow and short condensation funnel, which doesn't reach the ground. But the rotation in the air does. In many landspout cases their first visible clue is rotating cloud of dust and derbis near the ground with funnel cloud not reaching the earth surface.

wow for all u idiots who say thats a dust devil.u guys need to learn some common sense.ok tornadoes start from the sky which this one did..hence the elephant trunk style funnel coming from the clouds above which the tornado started..then it touched down on the ground but didnt have enough moisture in its base to become visible so it picked up dust which made the illusion that it was coming from the ground up...JESUS CHRIST PEOPLE WATCH STORM CHASERS ON DISCOVERY CHANNEL?!!

no. if it was a tornado, it would have started on the top of the cloud and heading towards the ground. this is obviously a dust devil. im a 16 yoear old student science teacher.

No, that is a tornado. Notice the condensation funnel in the sky reaching the base of the mesocyclone, you idiot...
