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.

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.
