· Aug 11, 2022 · NottheBee.com

Check out the fire tornado that formed in a wildfire in Los Angeles County this week.

So, what exactly are you looking at here?

Fire tornadoes are not all that uncommon. According to How Stuff Works,

"They're not really tornadoes at all, but a special type of whirlwind…as heat [from the fire] moves across dry terrain it causes a column of warm air to rise rapidly. As it does, the column of air will whirl, or rotate around a vertical axis, much like water draining from a basin."

Fire tornadoes, aka fire devils, can get up to 300 to 400 feet tall and 20-50 feet wide. Wind speeds can reach 100 to 300 mph, and the temperature inside the column can be upwards of 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit

With convection like that, I'll bet they can cook a cake faster than my Easy Bake Oven can.

So, what's left to check off on your 2022 Disaster Bingo card?
