    Raw Video: 'Fire tornado' in Brazil

    Apparently spotted in Brazil. It's powerful to see it. Ive never heard of any such thing before this. It's amazing.

    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.
