Tornado
A tornado is a rapidly rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm cloud to the ground. It is often characterized by a funnel-shaped cloud and can cause significant damage to structures and vegetation due to its high winds. Tornadoes are most commonly seen in severe thunderstorms and are capable of reaching speeds exceeding 200 mph.
A tornado is a violently rotating column of air extending from the base of a thunderstorm to the ground, often made visible by a funnel or cone shaped cloud. A tornado occurs when rolling air called wind shear is turned vertical by a thunderstorm. This creates a supercell, a storm with a strong, rotating updraft called a mesocyclone. Under the right conditions a downdraft can wrap around the mesocyclone, forcing the rotating into a tighter, more intense vortex: a tornado.
No. Stratus clouds are low level, usually flat clouds that can bring rain or snow but usually do not indicate hazardous weather. A funnel cloud is a rotating downward projection of a cumulonimbus that is often cone shaped.
