Run, it's a FIRE TORNADO!

[Pheran]

Just when you thought nature couldn't get any worse...

Australian Outback bushfire spawns amazing fire tornado

Fire Tornado YouTube video

Australia has some scary stuff.

Amazing to see how localized the vortex core is on that thing.

Just wait until it picks up some giant australian spider, lights it on fire and then splats it onto some family's window at dinner time.

thats awesome. reporter misspoke though. "the fire breathed new life into the tornado"

ermm.. i think its the other way around dude

 

[IronWing]

Anime larp!

 

[SunnyD]

I think what we need now is a magma tornado of doom. I'm pretty sure hot magma being spewed all over the place out of a searing hot tornado vortex would probably win hands down.

It goes both ways. Large fires generate their own weather.

I think he had it right. The fire consumes oxygen and sucks in more air, causing the tornado to become stronger.

naruto would be proud

sounds feasible... i wonder if there has been any studies on this

 

[waggy]

Fuck that is why IL rules. we just gotta worry about a regular tornado! fuck the fire ones..

 

[andylawcc]

bear cavalry got nothing on this.

[TechBoyJK]

This link allows you to read the abstract view some of the figures. You have to pay to see the whole article.

Ummm reality check calls for another viewing of the Joplin cam video on liveleak..

Granted that was like an F9001 (like an F5, but over 9000), but still.. that little firenado wasnt much compared to what we get in tornado alley

have you floated this idea by SyFy producers?

Wonder how long the flames can go in the air though, they have to run out of fuel.

 

[djnsmith7]

Damn that was nuts.

 

[Gibsons]

So, it wasn't poisonous? Or was it throwing out box jellyfish and funnel web spiders?

 

[EvilYoda]

So how long before we see this in a major studio movie?

thanks. so, basically, the fire can produce a tornado and there already has been government studies on it (theyve studied everything! )

 

[Krazy4Real]

Wow... never seen that before. Pretty cool.
