If you're still interested in Fire Tornados, the full report is now online, here:

From the Transcript:

Quote:

NARRATION
In the aftermath, it was clear that the worst damage was due to something much more savage than an ordinary firestorm.

Rick McRae
There was a police car that was picked off the ground and dumped into a stormwater drain. There was a series of streets on the southern edge of Chapman, which had suffered severe wind damage as well as fire damage, and that was difficult to explain.

NARRATION
What hit Canberra had never before been documented in science.

Cameraman
Holy shit!

Your homeland is trying to kill you.

That was worth watching btw.

ZenGum · 06-09-2013, 12:03 AM

I think the really important bit is the bit about high winds over lee facing slopes creating mountain waves, causing deep flaming and lateral spreading along the ridge-line. That is the sort of thing that will happen fairly often, and we need to understand it.

The fire tornado itself is scary as heck and very spectacular, but such things are very rare. I hope.

The high today is to be only 80F. No humidity. It's beautiful!! Baby and I are headed to the river, gonna grab some hotdogs & buns, some beer, build a fire on the riverbank, and enjoy the sun, the river, the woods, and each other.

When you get a July day like this in KY, you STFU and take it. See ya, suckers.

This is gonna be a great day.

state wide burn ban instituted today.

two large fires burning east of here.

today is cool, under seventy for the predicted high, and a measurable amount of rain for tomorrow, but no lifting of the burn ban until the end of september.

PDX is pink this evening...

Around 7 pm, a thunderstorm traveled across the peak of Mt Hood,
and on NE across the Columbia River. Lots of lightning.

FWIW, there is a rainbow in this pic... it's just one of those invisible kind.

If a rainbow cannot be seen by a camera, does it make a noise?

Rainbows have to be very vivid to photograph. And even then, they don't look particularly good.

july was hot and dry. no daytime highs less than 70 deg F and none higher than 90 deg F, zero precipitation. it's crispy.

Gravdigr · 08-13-2013, 10:14 AM

Here in KY, we got off soooo lucky for July. I don't think it broke 90 degrees the whole month. In fact, I don't think we've broken 90 except for the first week of June. August has been just lovely, a little damp, but lovely. My hayfever is a little snottier/eye-boogerier than usual, I guess the ragweed is doing well what with all the rain...I'll happily suffer for 80s in August.

BTW, our first week of August was in the mid-70s!
