Another Saturday, another night spending hours researching tornadoes

There was one in the 2018 California Carr fire (only the second scientifically confirmed fire tornado) that was an EF-3 and a half mile wide. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.sciencenewsforstudents.org/article/californias-carr-fire-spawned-true-fire-tornado/amp
