What does a tornado looks like when it is forming?
Visible signs of a possible tornado often start as rotation in the clouds of a severe thunderstorm, often with a lowered section of the cloud base called a wall cloud. As this happens a cloud of dust may appear near the ground as something called a rear-flank downdraft wraps around the rotation. Then a cone, funnel or elephant trunk shaped projection may lower itself from the cloud base. A cloud of dust and debris under this funnel cloud usually means that the tornado has touched down.
What is a tornado before it is a tornado?
Before a tornado touches down it is called a funnel cloud, which looks like a tornado but does not reach the ground. A funnel cloud develops from the mesocyclone of a supercell thunderstorm. A supercell thunderstorm is characterized by the presence of a mesocyclone, which is a deep, continuously-rotating updraft.

Does lightning only occur from cloud to ground?
Double ZapperYes. In fact, visible lightning usually comes up from the ground into the cloud! The lightning bolt is actually retracing a path of weak electricity that the cloud sent down as a sort of "feeler" sensing for the shortest path to take to the ground. So if you're in an open space during a lightning storm, and you feel your hair stand up from static electricity, you might want to run for cover!
What does a tornado look like?
The Greensburg tornado changed its appearance throughout its time on the ground. At times it was a vertical column, while at other times it was a cone with the narrow end touching the ground. When it hit Greensburg it was a massive lowering of the clouds well over a mile wide, appearing to be wider than it was tall. At this time it could only bee seen during flashes of lightning.
