They are called differently: swirls of fire, the fire demons firestorm!
They are called differently: swirls of fire, the fire demons firestorm! And they do not call them casual, enough of them to see one in real life. Unusual rare natural phenomenon, it rarely gets into the camera lens.
Fire turned in a whirlwind of only under certain conditions, combined with a favorable air currents and temperature. Fire on the ground forms a whirlpool, which can quickly reach great heights, but fortunately, this phenomenon never lasts long. However, like a tornado, fire rises almost vertically in the form of a rotating column.
Fire "tornado" is quite unusual, but sometimes the upper pillar of fire separated from the flame on the surface of the earth and is a fantastic spectacle. Some fire vortices can reach more than a kilometer high, moving at speeds up to 160 km / h and maintained for more than 15 minutes. Better not get too close.
The Great Kanto Earthquake (Japan) in 1923 showed what can be deadly firestorm. In that year, a fiery whirlwind burned (how else to describe it?) And killed nearly forty thousand people, a little less than twenty minutes.
In addition, in 1920 by a lightning strike in a fuel depot in San Luis Obispo (California, USA), there was a fire. As a result a fire tornado that carried the burning wreckage of the territory of more than 4, 5 kilometers, from which in turn lit up the house.
These wonderful pictures took an Australian photographer Chris tango. He managed to film the fiery whirlwind. It's amazing to watch as debris from the fire vortex cascades falling down to the ground.
The spectacle of whirling in the whirlwind of fire, of course just fine, but this phenomenon is also able to spread the fire around him.
Quite often fiery vortices appear on the Burning Man festival in the Black Rock Desert in Nevada.
Ends Burning Man festival in Nevada says Salute, fireworks and the burning of wooden structures. Salutes and salute the installation festival participants bring with them into the wilderness. During the fire show and celebratory burning of giant wooden structures and there are fiery tornado.
Oregon. This amazing picture fiery vortex became a symbol of the fire season in 2013. Appearing in the national US media, photograph showed the power, value and risk of this phenomenon.
