This is the terrifying moment children run through a huge red dust devil whirlwind that formed while they were playing in the field.<br /><br />The youngster were riding bikes and playing football in the dusty field when the raging mini tornado started to form in Depok City,Indonesia.<br /><br />The dust devil sucked in the dry red dirt on the surface of the field and started to gain size. The children gathered around to watch - with some of them even entering the spinning vortex of the cloud.<br /><br />Onlooker Jevry Tanjung said: "The children immediately entered the dust after seeing it. Instead of being afraid, they looked like they were having fun."<br /><br />Jevry added that the field is frequented by children and adults to fly kites in the afternoon when the wind is strongest.<br /><br />No one was hurt by the dust devil which dissipated after a few minutes.<br /><br />Dust devils are rotating masses of air which are relatively short-lived whirlwinds. They are usually harmless, but occasionally can cause some damage to both people and property.<br /><br />They are formed when the hot sun heats the ground and the warmer air above it starts to rise, creating an area of low pressure below. <br /><br />Air rushes to fill the low pressure, which then circulates like a whirlwind and picks up dried dirt from the surface as the air warms and rises quickly. They dissipate when all the air becomes cooler.
