Interesting Facts On Tornadoes

What is a tornado? A tornado, also known as a twister, is a rotating, funnel-shaped cloud that extends from a large thunderstorm to touch the ground. They are the fastest winds on Earth and can whirl up to 300 miles per hour. These rotating thunderstorms, also known as mesocyclones or supercells, birth tornadoes when a current of cool, moist air from the downdraft of the supercell meets with a current of warm air from the supercell’s updraft.
