Wild footage shows the moments a "firenado" broke out in the midst of the Palisades Fire. Fire tornados, also referred to as fire whirls or fire devils, are typically rare but in extreme instances where a fire is so intense, it can effectively create its own weather system. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, when smoke from the fire rises and condenses upon reaching the upper atmosphere, that water combines with moisture already in the atmosphere and additional water evaporated from plants burned by the fire. It then creates a cloud called a pyrocumulus, or "fire cloud." Check it out here.
