What is a twister?

A twister, more commonly called a tornado, is a violent, rotating windstorm that can develop during a severe thunderstorm. Compared to other types of storm tornadoes are small but incredibly violent. Tornadoes are usually made visible by a funnel or cone-shaped cloud and often produce a swirling cloud of dust and debris that they pick up from the ground. Tornadoes can range in size from a few yards (meters) to more than 2 miles (3 km) wide and in the worst cases can produce winds in excess of 300 mph (480 km/h).
