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.

According to The Weather Channel, a firenado can grow up to 100 feet tall. 

After the warehouse was damaged, the bourbon flowed into a nearby lake, which was then struck by lightening. 

A small tornado passed over the scene, sucking up the flaming spirit and spreading the fire further.

Despite being the victims of a lightning strike, Jim Beam are facing damages of $70,000 for polluting the nearby creek which led to major fish kills.

Jim Beam face a $70,000 bill for damage repair, although this does not cover the loss of the bourbon

This makes me sad. Of course, I would call it a crime if it was JD. Was anyone able to at least stand with their mouths open and catch any?

Would you want to do that even though it was on fire? hmm

You would happily go for a mouth and throat transplant? 

You're a braver person than I am.

If I wanted flaming booze, I'd just go buy it and light it up myself.
