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.

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.
