The dust is a nice touch however, dust devils are more like mini tornados, at least is west Texas.

I have noticed that smoke and dust simulation in 3D still kinda looks fake in games and movies. I think developers are getting close but, still have a way to go. The dust in your image still looks pretty good.

Thanks! I know it should look twirled, but I don't know how. Any suggestions?

Thinking aloud, and having tried it: what if you project three images (with some swirl) to a central point and locate your cloud there, blended by these merged projections, of course.... you'd have to think 3D and make up the masks accordingly.
