Where is the anvil located on a tornado?

The anvil is not part of a tornado nor is it directly related to tornadoes. When a thunderstorm forms, is produces a tall cloud called a cumulonimbus. The cloud rises until it reaches a stable layer, at which point the top spreads out flat. This flat top to the thunderstorm cloud is called the anvil. Most tornadoes are produced by a kind of thunderstorm called a supercell. Supercells usually have very well shaped anvils.
