Tornados form with strong thunderstorms.

They look like a funnel coming down from the sky.

The funnel of a tornado is called a Twister.

Warm humid air rising up from the ground cools quickly when it reaches the base of the thunderstorm. This makes the air spin, kind of like the water in a bath tub going down the drain.

They are very dangerous and winds inside the tornado can be up to three hundred miles per hour.
