Though 2020 ain’t normal, tornados, on the other hand, are a very normal phenomenon. When we picture a tornado in our minds, it’s mostly wind circling furiously to destroy everything on its way. But from today, that picturization of yours is gonna change. Coz we have fire tornados here.

California is witnessing wildfires due to increased heat waves this year. And the fact that it experiences tornados too, the two have got mixed to allow an unusual phenomenon called a ‘fire tornado’.
Images and videos of the fire tornado are going viral on social media. Reportedly a warning for ‘firenadoes’ was also issued.
“For the first time in history, a tornado warning has been issued for a likely fire tornado. These are not ‘firewhirls.’ This is a rotating smoke plume being ingested into a pyrocumulonimbus cloud that could produce a bonafide fire-induced tornado.
