This past year has been a serious bitch when it comes to weather. I don’t know whether it was a freak occurrence, or Mother Nature’s addiction to pain medication finally got the best of her, but the weather was jacked to Jesus. Even though it was a little weird having blizzards and shit in May, the recent weather is actually nothing compared to some other freak weather phenomena I have heard of. Here are five of the strangest weather occurrences known to man, including a fucking tornado made of fire.
Firenado– a tornado-like vortex of flames, also called a fire whirl, or fire devil.
Catatumbo Lightning– a huge lightning storm that can last up to 140 nights.
Fire Rainbow– Also known as a circumhorizontal arc, a fire rainbow occurs when the sun is exactly elevated at 58 degrees or higher, and shines through the ice crystals of the clouds at just the right angle.
Aurora Borealis– AKA the Northern lights, this colorful disco in the sky happens when the gaseous particles of Earth collide with the charged particles of the sun.
Roll Clouds– Perhaps the most apocalyptic, roll clouds happen when air temperatures invert and warm air ends up on top of cold air creating a cylinder that looks like it is most definitely hiding an alien invasion.
