Yes. There are two types of tornado.

Most tornadoes form when the rotation in the mesocyclone of a supercell tightens and intensifies. These are the tornadoes that can do severe damage. These are called supercell tornadoes.

There are also landspouts, which are essentially fair-weather waterspouts on land. Unlike supercell tornadoes, which develop downward from a parent storm, landspouts form from the ground up in a way similar to that of dust devil and then connect to the base of a developing storm.
