Footage emerges of fire tornado in LA County

Fire is a f**ken fickle beast. At times, it’s man’s best friend, separating us from the animals and ensuring we maintain dominion over the land. At other times, though, it’s a real s**tc**t. Yeah, nah, sometimes fire wants to show us who’s boss. When it does, the cost can be devastating.  Nah, yeah, when the flames really get cooking, they put on a mighty show and when there’s enough wind and enough fuel, they can even become fire tornadoes.

Before we go on, we wanna be clear here and let you know we’re not celebrating some horrible fire that resulted in the death and destruction of people and property. Nah, fortunately, no one was hurt by this raging conflagration, and we couldn’t be more grateful.
