What’s with all these fire tornadoes as of late?

W's weather machine got a software update with new modes

Q predicted this.

Illegals starting fires?

Fire causes air to heat up. Hot air rises. Air has to replace the rising air and when there is rotation, fire tornado forms.

It’s not a new phenomenon and it’s been happening on earth since the dawn of weather.

But it makes cool headlines and forum talking points.

They not painting roof blue!

Commifornia doesn't do as many controlled burns/clearing of dead brush as needed. Long dry summers mean lots of dead stuff, add wind and combuston to that and ....

They burned over a million acres in 2024 collectively (Fed, state, local, native). That total does not include a complete accounting of private acreage that was burned. The Feds set a record for prescribed burns on Federal land in California last year.

Certainly didn't burn enough.

They're never going to "burn enough". There aren't enough viable burn days in a year to "burn enough", especially after the drought busting rain/snow they had last Fall into Spring. The fuel load is incredibly high thanks to all of that rain and new growth.

I miss the good ole days when tornadoes were made out of sharks.

In 1998 it seemed like half country was burning. Florida, Georgia, Virginia, Texas, Idaho, Montana and yes California were the ones mostly affected.
They postponed the big race at Daytona because the smoke was so heavy on I-95, you could barely see in front of you. When hotels started kicking out the Forestry crews out of their hotels for the race fans, that's when the Governor stepped in and told NASCAR the race wasn't going to happen.
'95 was also bad in CA. Helicopters were dipping water out of peoples swimming pools.
