rare-fire-devil-captured-on-video

A filmmaker in central Australia has captured rare images of a fire devil, also called a fire tornado or fire whirl — Chris Tangey, 52, who manages Alice Springs Film and Television, was scouting locations and was near an old cattle station in Uluru when he encountered a wildfire, which spawned several fire devils.

That's pretty epic, it would be crazy to experience one first hand!
