Tornadoes

          Fire tornadoes are one of the most unpredictable acts of nature, usually alighting in dry, heated and windy weather associated with intense bush fires.

            Also known as ‘the devil’s whirl’, they are usually around 200 feet tall and when they hit populated areas they are devastating. In 1923, a fire tornado killed 38,000 people in less than fifteen minutes across a district of Tokyo.

 Storm chasers Keith Brown, Brad Illston took the lst two pictures of tornadoes in a super cell  that touched down in Dover, Oklahoma in October of '98.

     I chose these pictures because I love the display of power that nature can represent. The different pictures show contrast in there environments which brings the tornadoes to the for ground.
