Re: O/T- Carr Fire Tornado

I think they should definitely call this a tornado. It formed like one. It's not even really fire swirling around like a fire whirl. That Washington Post article explains it well.

Another forecast office even said they would have issued a tornado warning if they saw something like this on radar, which does make sense:



Not sure if this one in particular had been seen on radar though. It's something that they should consider in the future, making sure to issue a warning if something like this happens again, without any thunderstorm present. I haven't heard if a warning was issued for this one.
