So that is just kicked up wind? I thought they looked a little odd without the cloud overhead.

The dust on the far left is a 'gustnado'.  The dust on the far right is a dust devil.  The two taller tubes of dust in the middle are landspouts, which are weak tornadoes that form outside of the mesocyclone.
