Kelly sent us this screen grab that was taken from the 40-minute video that Chris Tangey shot of the fire tornado he discovered when he was scouting locations near Curtin Springs station in Australia. It reminded me of how incredible the images are. If you have not seen the video, check it out here.
The phenomenon stayed in about the same place and lasted for 40 minutes.
Thanks go out to Kelly
Actually Bill, your readers may be interested in a new version of my fire tornado I put up on youtube this week. In the original I had shot several sections of it on the day in slow motion settings. This one has been precisely corrected to real-time, which I think gives a much better understanding of real-life fire conditions around these things: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66Yte03B3Lo
