Best Answer

A tornado can form in a matter of minutes and usually lasts a few minutes. Some last just a few seconds while in rare cases a tornado may last few a few hours. A tornado is usually not over any given spot for more than a few second, but a large and/or slow moving one may impact a given location for several minutes.
