This past weekend was a rather strange phenomenon, was filmed by some journalists in Coimbra (Portugal), in village of Arganil, and reported in the press. They called it a "fire tornado."

This phenomenon was spread all over the world, coming to NBC, which gave it the name "Fire Devil".
This phenomenon arises when the strong wind and the heat come together.

This year in Portugal there were many fires that burn large areas of vegetation, as well as houses. Many people lost their homes, possessions, animals ... but worse than that, lives were lost. It was the case of a village called Pedrógão Grande, which believe that this same phenomenon happened. Around 60 people died when they tried to escape a big fire, but the only way they had led them to their death. It was a terrible event, never seen before.

Are we facing a new phenomenon of nature?

Cris, uma dica: Coloca as fontes das fotos sempre. Podem ver o teu post , acusa-la de plágio e dar flags ;) Ótima informação aqui e ao mesmo tempo isso é assustador :)

Sim eu sei. Esqueci-me completamente de colocar. Obrigada :)

oh that is very scary!!! In Canada where I live, we've had terrible fires in the west - Fort McMurray and then again in the Okanagan Valley. I don't know if I have ever seen a fire tornado before though. That's just really frightening.

This is very scary...I'm sad to hear that.

Nice!!!

Thank you @georgitsachev
