This just might be the most frightening weather system you'll ever see.

A woman driving through Chillicothe, Missouri snapped this photo last week of something that has come to be known as a 'firenado.'

The woman wrote, "...this had to be the coolest/scariest thing I've ever seen. A farmer burning off his field and as we stopped so I could take a picture the wind whipped up this fire twister."

Surprisingly, the firenado is not that rare.
