What can create a horizontal spinning column near Earth's surface eventually turning into a vertical tornado?

The horizontal rotation is caused by wind shear, differences in wind speed and direction with altitude. This can create horizontal vorticity in the air. This horizontal rotation then gets caught in the updrafts of thunderstorms in the area, which turn this rolling into vertical rotating columns within the storms. Eventually, the rotation in the storm can tighten and intensify to produce a tornado.
