Wildfires in #NorthernCalifornia led to a rare #Firenado — a fire and tornado combination — that tore through the region
businessinsider.in/international/…
A rare fire tornado — or #Firenado— occurred in a part of Northern California on Saturday.
The extreme weather event was triggered by wildfires that started on Friday in Loyalton, California, near the state's border with Nevada.
A #Firenado is a weather phenomenon that forms when columns of hot, dry air pick up embers. However, unlike regular tornadoes, they form on the ground rather than in the air.
Other users shared reactions to the monstrous-looking weather event, saying that it's just one of many shocking events to occur this year so far."Who had Firenado on their 2020 bingo card?" one Twitter user joked.

While the #firenado is far from a common occurrence, it has happened before. In 2018, another Northern California wildfire also led to the tornado-like event.
