Firenadoes – or "fire whirls" as they used to be known – typically only flare up for a few minutes, which explains why they have been relatively obscure until now. But camera-wielding citizens have begun to catch them on film around the world, from Denver, Colorado to Aracatuba, Brazil. On Monday, Janae Copelin became an Instagram sensation with her snap of a firenado caused by crop-burning in Missouri. "This had to be the coolest/scariest thing I've ever seen," she wrote. In 2012, cameraman Chris Tangey captured one on video in the Australian outback, which became a global news item.
