Firenadoes are known to occur around the world, but are most common in the US and Australia. Most are small, sometimes no more than a few feet across. Those spotted in California this year have been exceptionally large, stretching to as much as 500 ft (152 m) in diameter. As well as reaching temperatures as high as 800 C (1472 F), they can cause a fire to spread by spewing out embers and hot debris.
The real question is, why don't they feature in disaster movies more frequently ?
