It's not so much the anatomy of the cloud itself, but that of the wind currents in and around it. First, the updraft of the storm must rotate, this rotation often producess a lowering of the cloud base called a wall cloud.

Second, a downdraft must descend from the back of the storm, often producing a hole in the clouds. This downdraft allows the rotating updraft to produce a tornado.

How do you protect yourself from a tornado if you are in your car?

Go to a nearby study building if possible. If no shelter available and the tornado is still in the distance try to get out of the path by driving perpendicular (or diagonal depending on what the road will allow), to the tornado's movement. If the tornado is close and moving toward you get out of the car and lie in a ditch.

Where is the safest place to be in a car when a tornado takes place?

You should not be in the car. A car is a dangerous place to be if there is a tornado. If a tornado is coming, dry to get out of its path by driving at a right angle to its motion, or at least as close to one as the roads will allow. If you are unsure of your ability to escape, get out of the car and lie in a ditch or depression.

Should you open a window during a tornado?

No, this myth originated by people under the impression that allowing the pressure to equalize as a tornado passes would reduce the damage. In reality, the difference in pressure between the center of a tornado and elsewhere is not great enough to do much damage, and opening windows will allow the wind to come in and do much more damage than it would otherwise be able to.
