A tornado is a violently rotating vortex of air extending from the cloud base of a thunderstorm to the ground. It is fairly common for tornadoes to form during hurricanes, but most tornadoes are associated with other types of storm system. The tornadoes spawned from hurricanes are actually less likely to reach a high intensity than those produced by mid-latitude systems.
