Tornadoes are violent, rotating windstorms that connect to the base of a thunderstorm and to the ground. They are often made visible by a condensation funnel and debris cloud. Tornadoes can be very destructive. In extreme cases winds may exceed 300 mph (480 km/h). While they are more violent than other types of storm, tornadoes are also usually smaller and shorter-lived.
