Is it really impossible for a vortex or tornado to pick up an inverted cone and can someone point out examples?
It would be entirely possible for a tornado to pick up such an object. One misconception about tornadoes is that their winds only travel vertically. The truth is that their rotation gives the very strong horizontal velocity as well, so even if the updraft alone could not pick up a cone, the horizontal winds could tip it over and allow the tornado to pick it up that way.
