Incendiary Whirlwinds Called 'Firenadoes' Rampage in Missouri
Hell on earth manifested itself during intense grass fires near Kansas City.
What counts as bad weather in hell? How about tornadoes wrapped not in rain but choking smoke and fire.
Emergency personnel yesterday had the opportunity to dance with such devilish twisters during grass fires in Platte County, Missouri, northwest of Kansas City. They were small compared to such monstrosities as this pillar of flame in an Oregon blaze, but there’s no such thing as an unimpressive “firenado.” Indeed, whoever narrated the above video nailed it when calling them “freakin’ awesome.”
