Firenado! 800,000 gallons of Jim Beam accidentally released into a Kentucky lake bursts into flames after being hit by lightning… before a tornado sucks the flaming liquid 100 feet up into the air
- The freak weather destroyed a warehouse in Kentucky holding bourbon
- The inflammable spirit flowed into a nearby creek towards a lake
- A lightning strike then set fire to the bourbon on the lake’s surface
- A small tornado sucked up the flaming liquid and set fire to nearby trees
A Jim Beam warehouse in Kentucky was struck by lightning releasing 800,000 gallons of bourbon into a nearby lake. Then, the lake was hit by a ‘firenado’ setting the inflammable liquid alight.
The firenado was caused when a bolt of lighting hit the ground setting a fire which was in the path of a tornado, which sucked up the flames, creating a terrifying spiralling inferno.
A video of the dramatic scenes has been viewed more than four million times on the internet.
