Raging fires in northern California are being sucked up by strong winds and forming “fire tornadoes.”
The fire tornadoes are toppling trees, shaking firefighting equipment and jumping rivers.
The northern California blaze leveled at least 125 homes, leaving neighborhoods smoldering and 37,000 people under evacuation orders.
The locals are witnessing “fire tornadoes” in the area.
