I don’t think this meets the definition of a “firenado“, if there is a definition, but it is an impressive photo, regardless. Often, fire whirls are partially obscured by smoke and are difficult to photograph clearly.

The photo was posted on Instagram by Janae Copelin who happened to be driving by when a farmer was burning his field. She wrote:
A farmer burning off his field and as we stopped so I could take a picture the wind whipped up this fire twister #nofilter #firestorm #firetwister”.
She said it was the “coolest/scariest thing I’ve ever seen”.
