A fire tornado or the fire vortex is, however, a very rare phenomenon in which fire, under appropriate conditions (air temperature and air currents), acquires the ability to vertically swirl. This creates a tornado-like fire vortex, typically 10 to 50 meters tall.
Some fire tornadoes can reach altitudes of more than a kilometer, with winds inside exceeding 160 kph.
A smaller fire tornado was also witnessed in Israel a few days ago, and the scene captured on camera took many people’s breath. Take a look at how this rare natural phenomenon looks like!
