真的在燒的火
核心畫面的字面版本：真的有火、真的有風。
noun · C1
A very large fire that makes its own strong winds. The hot air rushes up, air from all around rushes in to take its place, and that inrushing wind keeps feeding the fire.
火風暴（自己捲起強風的大火）
核心畫面
One way to hold this word: a fire so hot that it changes the air around it. The heat rushes up, air is dragged in from every side to fill the gap, and that inrushing wind makes the fire burn harder — which drags in more air still.

可以想成一場熱到會改變周圍空氣的火。熱氣往上衝，四面的空氣被拉進來補位，而這股被拉進來的風又讓火燒得更猛——於是又拉進更多空氣。到這一步，它已經不需要任何人餵它了。firestorm 帶著的就是這個封閉的循環，也正因為如此，這個字從燒著的山谷跑到一頁灌爆的怒罵留言，一點都不勉強。From the word’s history
The packet's source entry gives the word simply as fire plus storm. The two parts say the whole thing: a fire that has become a storm, and a storm that is made of the fire's own heat.
來源資料把這個字直接拆成 fire 加 storm。兩個部分就把整件事講完了：一場變成風暴的火，而那場風暴又是這場火自己的熱造出來的。

同一個封閉循環，只是把燒的東西換成人的反應：一句話點著，回應從四面灌進來，而每一則回應又引來更多則。
