What is a Firenado
Forest fires and wildfires are undeniably bad, but the amount of damage caused by fire tornadoes is unmatched. A fire whirl or fire tornado is not an actual tornado that forms a vortex around a cloud. Its vortex is formed because of the upward movement of warm wind during a forest fire.
In places that have dry weather conditions, such as the state of California, wildfires are common. Where there is fire, there is heat and hot air. When hot air rises up in the air during a wildfire, it forms columns, which then suck in combustible gases, debris, ash, and smoke towards the center. It is due to such a turn of events that firenadoes form. Even though fire whirls only last for a couple of minutes, the damage that they cause is often extensive. The best way to survive one would be to keep away and hide inside your house or inside your basement. Don’t try and run because On the ground, these burning tornadoes can hurl flames and burning debris skyward for hundreds of feet at wind speeds greater than 140 mph, creating a major fire expansion hazard. For An extreme example of a fire whirl is the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake in Japan, which ignited a large city-sized firestorm which in turn produced a gigantic fire whirl that killed 38,000 people in fifteen minutes in the Hifukusho-Ato region of Tokyo.
