Uh..."pyro-meso"? This is four hours of the Caldor Fire on the 17th; per current reports today, it's growing and 0% contained. Wonder if there will be pyrotornado warnings on this.
The rotation in it never produced a tornado.Uh..."pyro-meso"? This is four hours of the Caldor Fire on the 17th; per current reports today, it's growing and 0% contained. Wonder if there will be pyrotornado warnings on this.
It’s interesting that this pyro tornado had features so many well defined features: suction vortices, collar cloud, etc.That’s amazing. That’s one of the largest and most well defined pyro tornadoes I’ve ever seen.
I wonder if stuff like this happens more often then we think but only now is it being readily documented. I also wonder if the increase in wildfires due to climate change is also a factor...That’s amazing. That’s one of the largest and most well defined pyro tornadoes I’ve ever seen.
I think one of the craziest things about that video is the multiple-vortex structure. Never seen anything like that with a pyro tornado.I wonder if stuff like this happens more often then we think but only now is it being readily documented. I also wonder if the increase in wildfires due to climate change is also a factor...
There were no major wildfires in Oregon recently, that was a tornado from 2018 that passed near a wildfire in Colorado. It was not related to a pyrocumulonimbus so it is not a pyrotornado.Apparent pyro tornado near Weston, Oregon yesterday.
Edit: Actually, this might have been a regular tornado that just happened to be near a wildfire. I'm not completely sure either way.
