In most tornadoes the wind moves up in the center of a tornado. However, in others there is a downdraft that forms because the tornado is spinning so fast that winds from the outside cannot reach the center. This creates a calm area similar to the eye of a hurricane.

What type of pressure is in the center of a tornado?
The center of a tornado is an area of intense low pressure.
How is the center of a tornado characterized?
The center of a tornado has very low barometric pressure and may be either calm or violent depending on the tornado.
Is the center of a tornado extremely low pressure?
Yes. The pressure at the center of a tornado is very low, though not a vacuum.
Is the wind inside a tornado calm?
It is believed that there is a calm "eye" at the center of a tornado. But mostly the winds in a tornado are very strong.

What happens in the middle of a tornado?
The winds in a tornado are actually fastest at the edge of the funnel. Withing that radius the tornado rotates as if it were a solid object, so wind is not as strong at the center as you might expect. The pressure at the center, however, is quite low. In some tornadoes a downdraft descends though the center in a process called vortex breakdown.

What happens when a tornado spins faster?
When a tornado spins faster its winds carry more force, so the tornado can cause more severe damage than it could before. Under some circumstances the increase in speed can trigger a phenomenon called vortex breakdown. In this process air at the center of the tornado begins to sink, forcing the tornado to widen. The collision between outward moving air from the center of the tornado and inflow toward the tornado then results in the formation of a series of smaller vortices within the tornado.
What happens to living and non living things if a tornado happens?
