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?

signs of a really dry summer.

seriously, that was awesome. NICE WORK, PELE! i especially liked when guys in the tanker decided maybe it was time to move. i was worried about them.
were you surprised not to see tourbuses heading for it?
thanks for the link - truly spectacular.

I love flame tornadoes! I wish I still had the videos of the flame tornado that was my high school senior physics project. Man that thing was awesome. But, you know, only a couple feet high. Not as big as the above one - which, admittedly, I'm just assuming is big, as it would take about two hours to load that youtube video, so I'm not going to bother. Alas.

I think I spent most of the first minute going "Why are they walking so casually? It's a tornado made of fire! Start moving!" Then, once they started moving, I could just appreciate how cool it was that everything was on fire. (-;

Well you know 2012 is fast approaching. XD

Glad you liked that, my friend Gene Mala's mon found it. Probably looking for research for the tornado building in Gotham right now.

But yeah anyone else reminded of pillars of fire, not on my list of things from biblical myth that I was expecting to actually see video of. Very cool.
So what's next the parting of the Red Sea.

Wow. That is amazing footage, but at the same time I am terrified. Definitely signs of the apocalypse. :S
