A sand fire is a type of major storm that occurs in Vulcan deserts. These storms advance at high speeds and are characterized by strong winds and blinding sand. The effects of a sand fire on the desert also generates dangerous lightning-like discharges of electrical energy close to the ground. Sand fire storms can last from hours to days.

... there doesn't seem to really be any facts about it yet... just people talking about the facts... I don't like that... \nEverything you have cited so far is VERY vague... not that it isn't true... I just want more than some quotes about how great it is and a very brief description...

Yes.  Forest Fires.  Fire season will be upon us soon.  We also have earthquakes, avalanches, wind storms, hail storms, snow storms, floods, etc.

Fire is simply a term that we use to describe a chemical reaction that results in the release of incandescent gas (usually due to the effects of the high temperature of the reaction on the reaction product (gas)).\n\nOrdinary wood fires are not hot enough to create plasma, the fourth state of matter. The sun is an incandescent ball of plasma, so it is technically not "fire" although it may appear to be so. A burning match, while hot, is not nearly hot enough to convert gas into plasma.

yes. ive seen it on google video. and people go to the hospital for things lie that. its becuase of the mehtane produced, which s very flammable. that is why sometimes garbage dumps start on fire.

What you saw is called foxfire. It is quite common and most people who have spent much time camping outdoors have seen it. \n\nSorry to spoil the mystery but it isn't very unusual.\n\nFoxfire is caused by fungi that lives on dead wood. (It is NOT caused by bacteria, nor is the glow in beach sand caused by bacteria.) For reasons nobody has worked out yet these fungi glow very slightly in the dark.\n\nIn this case it was almost certainly caused by a honey mushroom. Normally the fungus exists as thin  threads called mycelia that grow under the bark of the tree so they can't be see.  Whent he tree fell the outer layers of bark were knocked off and the fungus became visible.\n\nYou can photograph foxfire, but not with a digital camera. You need a film camera with and a tripod and vriable exposure time. Set the exposure to 30 seconds or more.

Apparently yes. Over the past 300 years, there have been more than 200 reports of persons burning to a crisp for no apparent reason. See link for details and examples.

There are a couple different statistics based on the type of fire or how the fire was started.   I suggest reading the websites I listed in the sources section, they both seem official... you're going to have a hard time getting anything from 2005 to current, but 2004 is available.

YES, there are, but your biggest concern would still be tornados!  Back in the late summer/early fall of 2000 there was one in Amarillo.  That was the first time I had ever "felt" one.  My brother and I were sitting on the couch and it felt like someone started shaking it!  It was very brief, but everyone in our apt building opened their doors and were asking "did you feel that??  was that a.... NO WAY!"  Since then, there have been smaller ones here and there that are getting a bit of media coverage, like the one in Dumas, but not that entense or frequent.  Now I'm no geologist, but Amarillo DOES sit on top of an underground mountain range, so that might contribute.  The Panhandle Plains Historical Museum in Canyon, which every school kid is like REQUIRED to go to on at least 3 field trips in their lives, has an exhibit on it.  Pretty interesting.
