5. Fire Whirls
We are afraid of tornadoes because we fully realize what damage they cause to nature and humans. But there is one type of tornadoes that you would love to witness. Such tornadoes are called fire whirls. That’s when a tornado shoots out flames and fire. This phenomenon is cause by extremely high temperatures driving air up. This forms a vortex and that’s how a fire tornado occurs. It is very dangerous to be around a fire whirl. In the early 1920’s over 35,000 Tokyo citizens died during a fire tornado.

6. Volcanic Lightning
People in Chile and Iceland have recently witnessed this natural phenomenon. Volcanic lightning occurred in Alaska too. This spectacular view takes its name from its original appearance. It is not really rare and you can see it happen relatively often. Sometimes volcanic lightning is called ‘dirty’ thunderstorm. When a volcano erupts, it emits thousands and millions of various particles, ice, stones and minerals. They collide and bump into each other generating electrical charges. When it is all coupled with sizzling crack of lightning, you see the so-called dirty thunderstorm.
