Dust Devil Raises From Ground to Cloud in Northern Texas

A storm chaser captured the moment on May 24, when a dust devil formed outside Sudan, Texas.

The weather phenomenon was recorded by Jonah Lange. In the video, the vortex can be seen swirling above the ground, before spiralling up, into a ground-to-cloud rope.

Brief tornadoes and other landspouts were reported in the area by the National Weather Service on that date. Credit: Jonah Lange via Storyful
