Fire Tornado.

Taken from Asylum.

If you thought normal tornadoes were scary, you're going to hate the 'fire tornado'.

Normal tornadoes are enough to scare the bejesus out of anyone, but fire tornadoes? Well, they're in a different league. A hotter, more destructive league, and one that, dare we say it, looks pretty damn cool.

Sure, it's churned up arable farmland and destroyed thousands of pounds worth of property in the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil, but as it looks like something special Storm from The X-Men might have cooked up, we can't help but coo and stare.

Causing a huge amount of rubber-necking from the nearest motorway, these 'Fire devils' can spin at 100 mph and stretch up to a kilometre high. Fortunately, they don't happen that often, and in this case, occurred far enough away from built-up areas to not cause too much damage.

Still, fire tornadoes. In a word: awesome. In two words, awesomely awesome.
