You don’t see this too often… First tornado warning issued for a firenado caused by Loyalton Fire near the CA/NV border
Just when you think 2020 couldn’t get anymore weird?!
How about the first Tornado Warning for a fire tornado!
For the first time in history, a tornado warning has been issued for a likely *fire tornado*.
These are not "firewhirls." This is a rotating smoke plume being ingested into a pyrocumulonimbus cloud that could produce a bonafide fire-induced tornado.
