A tornado is a violently rotating column of air extending from the base of a thunderstorm to the ground. Most tornadoes form from a mesocyclone, which is the rotating updraft of a supercell thunderstorm. Inside the tornado are very powerful winds, capable of causing damage to vegetation and man-made structures. This damage may range from broken tree limbs and missing shingles (EF0) to the complete obliteration of well-built structures (EF5). Those few tornadoes rated EF5 produce the fastest winds on earth.
