The center of a tornado is often referred to at its eye, though a true eye only forms in tropical cyclones (e.g. hurricanes). If such an eye-like structure is detected it is called the weak echo region.
the center of a tornado is called the eye.
The center of a tropical cyclone is called the eye.
The centre of a storm (hurricane, cyclone) is called the eye of the storm.

The center 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.
low pressure
A tornado's central pressure is lower than the surroundings. In a strong tornado it may be 50 to 100 millibars lower. The actual pressure will, of course, depend on what the pressure of the surroundings are, which can vary with elevation and the tornado's parent storm system.
In some cases one tornado will dissipate completely, and then a completely new tornado will form afterward from the same thunderstorm. This is called a tornado family.
No. The eye of a tornado is a calm, clear area at the tornado's center.
Pressure decreases sharply, reaching its lowest at the center of the tornado. This pulls air toward the center of the tornado and then drawn into the tornado's updraft. The tornado spins as it originates from a larger circulation called a mesocyclone.
The center of a tornado is often informally called an "eye" such as that in a hurricane. In technical terms it is called a weak-echo hole.
Yes. A tornado has a center of rotation.
A tornado has a center of low pressure.

The center of a tornado is an area of intense low pressure.
The center of a tornado has very low barometric pressure and may be either calm or violent depending on the tornado.
