No. Tornadoes descend from severe thunderstorms. The view from above is blocked by the parent storm.

What do tornadoes look like from space?

Tornadoes themselves cannot be seen from space because they are blocked from above by the thunderstorms that produce them. The link below shows a storm satellite of a storm system that was producing tornadoes at the time the picture was taken. The tornadoes themselves formed under the storms that are seen as the right-hand branch of the spiral-shaped system. Again, what you are seeing is the storm that produced the tornadoes, not the tornadoes themselves. At this resolution individual tornadoes would be too small to see anyway.
