A three month drought in the region has led to brush fires across Brazil,
|
|
creating the conditions for the fire tornado.
|
|
|
|
Fire tornados, also known colloquially as fire devils, happen when a fire
|
|
acquires a vertical rotating column of air. Some can be more than a half a
|
|
mile tall and contain winds over 100 mph.
|
|
|
|
In 1923, Great Kanto earthquake in Japan, ignited a firestorm that raged
|
|
through the city and produced a gigantic fire tornado that killed 38,000 in 15
|
|
minutes in the Hifukusho-Ato region of Tokyo.
