We had a few of those on film here in San Diego area a few years ago and about 4 years before that.

Just looks like a localized whirlwind to me, not a tornado. High temperatures near the surface cause the air to rise, and a lower temperature layer above them can sometimes cause the spin. It takes calm conditions to create and sustain them, and they are rarely dangerous.

Tell that to Dresden. Little difference in a tornado and a fire storm. Pappadave.
