The Begelly Arms Hotel and Restaurant in Pembrokeshire, Wales posted footage of the funny moment, which happened on May 20, to Facebook. The pub captioned their post: “our own mini tornado at Begelly today”.

The Met Office says a ‘dust devil’ is, “an upward spiralling, dust filled vortex of air that may vary in height from a few feet to over 1,000. Although they may resemble 'mini-tornadoes', dust devils are nowhere near as powerful or destructive. They travel across the ground and, besides dust, they may also carry other loose debris such as hay.”
