Does lightning strike in a tornado?
Since tornadoes occur during thunderstorms they are usually accompanied by lightning, but it does not necessarily occur inside the tornado.
Is it possible to make a lightning tornado?
No. While tornadoes and lightning often occur at the same time a tornado cannot be made of lighting, nor are the two directly related. A tornado is a vortex of air; lighting is an electrical discharge.
How can you tell if a tornado is coming by feeling the wind?
You can't. Although some claim strong winds or sudden changes in wind speed and direction indicate a tornado is coming this is not necessarily true. Such events can occur in just about any thunderstorm. It is better to pay attention to warnings issued by the National Weather Service. Additionally, if a storm may produce a tornado you should not be outside.
How are tornadoes and lightning alike?
Both tornadoes and lightning are potentially deadly phenomena that occur during thunderstorms. Aside from that they are two completely different things.

Is a tornado coming to Arizona Apache Junction?
It is impossible to predict if a specific location is going to be hit by a tornado unless that tornado is already close to striking. That said, while tornadoes do occur in Arizona, they are rare so you probably don't have much to worry about.
What general areas are more likely to see thunderstorms and lightning?
Thunderstorms are likely to occur when warm, moist air and cold, dry air collide. In the United States, this occurs in Tornado Alley, there is a link attached so you can see were Tornado Alley is.
What layer of the atmosphere would a tornado occur in?
A tornado would occur in the troposphere, the layer closest to the Earth.
