You need to chill, 2020. A very rare meteorological phenomenon hit the state of California, this Saturday afternoon, when a forest fire ended up causing the formation of a strange fiery tornado.
The Reno Weather System received unusual reports of a series of fiery tornadoes in Lassen County, California, approximately 25 miles northwest of Reno.

According to the radar, at least 5 rotating signatures were submitted, although it could not be confirmed if all were classified as tornadoes. As a safety measure, mandatory evacuations were ordered for several Northern California counties.
Forest fires in the area began on August 14 near Loyalton and as of Sunday had been contained by 5%, which was an exhausting predicament for firefighters, police, and forest authorities.
