Creepiest thing I've ever seen: Fire Tornado

Sep 3, 2010

I have to say that this has nothing to do with tires :), but I was shocked when I saw this. Imagine a burning and devastating tornado, a fire whirl..........................................................a Fire Devil.

Fire Tornado is a rare phenomen  in which a fire, under certain conditions (depending on air temperature and currents), acquires a vertical vorticity and forms a whirl, or a tornado-like vertically oriented rotating column of air. Fire whirls may be whirlwinds separated from the flames, either within the burn area or outside it, or a vortex of flame, itself. 

The most extreme one was in 1923 in Tokyo, where a Fire Devil killed 38,000 people in just 15 minutes.

Last one was seen in Brazil.




And one in Hawaii
