August 25, 2017 Oregon firewhirl

The August 25, 2017 Oregon firewhirl was an EF2 rated firewhirl that touched down near the center of Oregon City. This was the first case of a firenado in Oregon, which led to 232 injuries, and 13 deaths, due to the unexpected event occurring. The firenado was caused by a normal tornado interacting with the very hot ground during a very strong high over the area, which allowed the tornado to catch fire as a result of the spinning winds, which then proceeded to ravage through much of the city, causing enormous damages in the process. The firenado was responsible for $762 million in damages, making it the costliest firenado ever recorded. The storm led to a wildfire that lasted for 3 days, burning an area 15,000km squared, causing extreme loss of woodland as a result of the disaster.
