Extreme wildfires can get so intense that the heat from the fire can generate its own weather patterns. In rare cases, like during the 2018 wildfire in Redding California, the wildfire created its own tornado, or as it is more commonly known: a firenado. Many videos show fire formations labeled as firenadoes -- but according to atmospheric scientist Neal Lareau, only two known fire tornadoes have ever been caught on video

I can't remember but I believe the highest tornado/whirl kill count in history was due to Fire Whirls and Fire Tornados In Japan.
One of the worlds most devastating earthquakes in 1923, was during lunch time in which braziers fell over and lit some homes on fire. Anyone who survived the initial earthquake was then subjected to a 40 ft tsunami wave, Mudslides and then massive tornadoes and fire whirls. The fires were so bad that people who had taken shelter in rivers were even found charred. Some people who survived the fire whirls had burns on their feet because the ground was so scorched. They incinerated and devastated whole cities.
Crazy stuff.

By definition, a tornado has a condensation cloud intrinsic to it providing the energy required to feed the torque. these firenadoes are whorl winds and the energy source is external to the event. how energy is released at altitude is clearly explained, but there's no way that energy flows back down to torque the surface spin, the raging fire has far more energy released, the Second Law of Thermodynamics _requires_ energy to flow upward. gravity demands this in the form of buoyancy forces. tornadoes power themselves, firenadoes and dust-devils don't. follow the energy.

The main reason these fires are happening is we have stopped the normal burn nature uses each year to keep all the fuel under control. When we stop these fires early on year after year, the amount of fuel the fire has at its disposal increases and we reach a point where we can no longer control it and people die.

I though at first the bulldozer driver was one of the firefighters who lost their life to the Carr firenado. Seeing the devestation of Keswick was like nothing I could imagine. Everything was leveled and all over. Trees flung everywhere, and devastation that resembled a bomb going off.

I live in redding ca. The fire tornado was absolutely crazy and frightening to see! Its so sad to see how many families and friends i know that were affected by it.

How the Military creates a fire tornado - BIOMIMETICS & Signal warfare with a Autonomous Computerized weapon system named J. A. D. E. 2. 0 -that runs the show-.

Earth Day. was, like 50 years ago. guess we didn't listen, huh. Handed our fate to Exxon and all the Greedsters. with all their forward thinking.

We would do well to share this around and view it often! Thank you to the redhead, professor Neal Lareau, expert! This is physics, folks.

I told my dad, my dad laughed and me and said that is made up and then when I showed my dad he was loss for words.

God: what is this?
Mother Nature: You told me to turn up the heat
God: I didn-t mean literally!
