A tornado itself does not produce rain or lightning, but the thunderstorm that spawned the tornado can. Also, the winds in a tornado are more violent than those just caused by a thunderstorm.
Wind shear can cause a formation of what?
wind shear causes the formation of a tornado if you have a strong thunderstorm.
What is a violent thunderstorm that can lead into dangerous tornado?
