I posted a Q in the discussion of that APOD. Could it be electric? “Shut up”, they explained.
I think your post in APOD was an excellent way to break the ice for a rational discussion of a natural display of EM forces in action.

What can make the atmosphere whirl like tha? A spout (land or water) goes up, opposite to a tornado, which goes down. Electric charge can bleed or strike up or down. A current generates a directed magnetic field around it we know.
Could electricity be at work here?
Your post was an excellent proposal for discussion in the form of a rhetorical question (rhetorical from an EU point of view). Don't weaken, make another post. Perhaps if you suggest in the form of another polite query similar in context to "is it not reasonable to expect" dust to behave similarly in an electric field in motion ? and point out that charged dust in motion would generate an EM field, some further discussion might ensue.
I wonder if this could be related:
