That would be a tornado. Once the process starts, a tornado can form in a matter of seconds. Hurricanes, by contrast, usually take several days to form and are easy to track.
How do meteorologists track tornadoes?
The main tool used for track tornadoes is doppler radar, which can measure wind speeds remotely. It can detect the signature of a tornado or the circulation from which one may form. However, doppler radar cannot determine whether or not a tornado is actually on the ground. For that trained weather spotters go out and report any tornado sightings.
Where was the most deaths for tornado's?

Can you be a tornado chaser?
a tornado chaser is someone who researches tornadoes and follows track to take pictures of the tornado. I wouldn't recommend you being a tornado chaser, because it can result in bad harm, and it may be fatal :/ but.. anyone can be a tornado chaser.. if they dare. All they need is a camera and they can start working. But it depends really. Do you want to be one? You can study about weather and work your way up.
