There was a #Firenadoā€™ in California last weekend because...2020.

Videos showed a towering column of smoke and flame spinning up over the Loyalton Fire on Saturday, in an incident that alarmed state weather officials.

ā€œFirenadoes are an extreme weather phenomenon that can occur with rotating fire columns,ā€ the U.S. National Weather Service in Reno, Nev., tweeted on Saturday. The NWS issued a tornado warning at the time due to ā€œtornadic pyrocumulusā€ clouds of smoke in Roberts Canyon, Calif and reports are that this is the first time the NWS has ever issued a firenado warning.

Firenados have the ability to uproot trees that are 49 feet and taller.
