Other forms of extreme wather do not occur in tornadoes, but they do often occur during the same weather events. Tornadoes form during very powerful thunderstorms with strong updrafts. The strong updrafts may lead to the formation of large hail. The moisture in these thunderstorms can also lead to masses of rain-cooled air, which rapidly sinks, creating powerful gusts of wind when they reach the ground, which can sometimes rival the intensity of a moderate tornado. The storms that produce tornadoes can also produce torrential rain, whic can lead to flash flooding.
