Wildfire in Jasper Creates Its Own Weather

A massive wildfire in Jasper National Park, Alberta, has caused significant damage, with officials fearing that half the town might be destroyed.

The intensity of the fire has generated its own weather system, known as a pyrocumulonimbus cloud, which creates strong winds, hail, lightning, and even tornadoes.

This type of fire is considered one of the most intense in the world and poses significant dangers to firefighters due to its unpredictable nature.

Residents and tourists have been evacuated from the area, and the mayor described the devastation as “almost beyond comprehension.”
