Fire Tornado

gwiz665 says...

I love those "Oh Gee Whiz" moments where you find you've accidentally left your pants at home and are sitting on the bus... that was a good summer.

>> ^Payback:

Is it just me or would these "firemen" be better off fighting the blaze than busting out the camera phone for the "oh gee whiz" moment?

Oh gods, Kevlar, I'm going to have to recover before I decide if that is the best comment, in so many ways, I have ever read.

Payback, let's say you've got kids and are about to feed your new baby some formula but for some reason it sprouts demon wings and is now circling the bedroom ceiling, its head turned sideways, shouting the chants of gods long dead. Do you shrug your shoulders, grab a stepladder and immediately shove the spoon into one of its 5 new mouths? Or do you stand back in stupefied wonder before coming up with a plan that may or may not involve a butterfly net and pruning shears?

My reading of your comment is that that people should not hesitate before aiming a hose at a tornado. I love your comments, but in this case I'd argue that the situation is truly and perversely fucked enough (and outside the realm of their normal experience) to make a slow response a little more understandable.

Oranges to apples. If one of YOUR imaginary kids suddenly proclaimed they were a demon and grabbed a pair of scissors and said their sister/brother must die. Would you go grab the camera or try to disarm them?

Any firefighter will have at least a passing knowledge of -albeit rare, but not undocumented- "fire whirls" which are observed mostly during wildfires.

I haven't found much on Google about Spontaneous Infant Demonification.
