Pictured above: A control burn in wheat field at Highway 97 and Tungoil Roads near Walnut Hill Monday afternoon. If you look carefully at the photo below,  you can see three different smoke vortexes spinning like three tornadoes. Pictured below: The smoke from the fire was visible from several miles away.

    A few years ago, I watched 2 smoke tornados cross my road and go from the burning field into the woods. I was so fascinated, I just stood there watching them. I still wonder why the woods did not catch on fire. It was a neat experience. I had never heard of a smoke tornado before I saw that.
