This is why my home state is cooler than yours

Thanks, btw, to [livejournal.com profile] magusronin for bringing this to my attention.

...So last week during a brushfire in Pohakuloa on my very own Big Island of Hawaii, state workers recorded footage of A TORNADO OF FIRE.

HOW TERRIFYING COOL IS THAT?!

Oddly enough, a similar fire tornado was also caught on tape in Brazil, also last week. SIGNS OF THE APOCALYPSE, Y/Y?

...Eh. Signs of it being Mauna Kea. We get brushfires up there all the time. ...Flaming tornadoes, granted, are rare.

Lololol I know right? They start slowly rolling away, like, "I think maybe it's time to go...."

Haha, I'm sure if it had lasted longer there would've been tourists. They closed Mauna Kea Road, but that wouldn't have stopped them. I mean, if there's one thing I know about tourists in Hawaii, it's that if you put up a sign saying "DO NOT ENTER. DANGEROUS LAVA BENCH/STEAM VENT/BLOWHOLE/ROCKFALL AREA/METHANE EXPLOSIONS/FIRE TORNADO", some lolo malihini will inevitably cross the rope and get themselves dropped into a boiling sea full of lava/baked like kalua pig/sucked into a flooded lava tube/crushed by falling boulders/blown up/set on fire and KILLED.

Get haupia for dessert? OH GOD ME TOO. T_T

My roommate did make some really delicious kabucha mochi last week, though. So that helps.
