Note - near the end of this clip, there is a small firenado, that briefly breaks down and becomes multi-vortex, but only for a short space of time :)

Wow. I don't think I've ever seen video with such a persistent and well-defined vortex (vortices). Amazing footage.

If you thought those were large, persistent, and multivortex, check:

I'm glad that you like the clip guys :)
The 1st 2 clips that you posted Scott, are the only 2 that I haven't seen untill now, but the second clip was awesome, especially with the suction vortices rotating as well defined and as close to the fire crew, as they were :), but the only downside is, none of us were lucky enough to be standing there to see it in person, because that would've been very sweet indeed :D
