Hawaii Volcano: Tornado Emerges As Kilauea Whips Up Fiery Twister
Hawaii's raging Kilauea volcano eruption has destroyed hundreds of homes across the defenceless Big Island and a new catastrophic danger has emerged from the inferno – a terrifying volcanic tornado.
Hawaii’s serene jungle landscapes have transformed to Biblical scenes of fire and brimstone since Hawaii volcano Kilauea began erupting more than a month ago on May 3.
An incredibly rare phenomenon was now captured on camera by a touring photographer who witnessed strong winds whip up a fiery twister.
Photographer Anthony Quintano snapped the breathtaking tornado, dubbed lavanado, over volcanic fissure eight in Leilani Estates.
