Does a tornado form on the ground first?
No. General scientific consensus is that most tornadoes start forming up inside a thunderstorm and extend downward. There is evidence that some tornadoes form from the ground up, however.
How many tornadoes can form at 1 time?
In a few cases there have been as many as 13 tornadoes on the ground at the same time in different locations.
Does it mean there will be a tornado if the sky is yellowish?
No sky color necessarily means that a tornado will form. A yellow sky during or before a tornado is due to the fact that most tornadoes form in the late afternoon or early evening and often take place around sunset.
Do tornadoes start at the bottom?
No, Tornadoes start inside the clouds of their parent thunderstorms and descend towards the ground. Somtimes they can appear to form up from the ground because the vortex is just swirling air when it reaches thr ground and therefore cannot be seen until it starts picking up dust from the ground.
What do tornadoes typically look like?
Tornadoes look like funnels of wind, starting small where it touches the ground and growing bigger as it reaches the sky. They would have dirt, grass, wood, anything it picks up swirling inside it.

What is the fastest wind seen in the sky?
That depends on where you define the sky to begin. Winds a few hundred feet above the ground in tornadoes have been known to exceed 300 mph. If tornadoes don't count, then the fastest wind in the sky would occur in the jet stream, where winds can occasionally exceed 250 mph.
Do tornadoes come from inside the earth?

What are some of the remaining mysteries about tornadoes?
Exactly how tornadoes form and why some supercells produce tornadoes while others don't is not known. Due to the difficulty of making measurements the internal dynamics of tornadoes are not well understood either, especially at ground level.
Can tornadoes form?
Yes, tornadoes can form. Hundreds, even thousands of tornadoes form every year.
Are tornadoes some type of precipitation?
No. Tornadoes are a type of violent, rotating wind storm that forms during a thunderstorm. Precipitation occurs when moisture either in solid or liquid form falls from the sky.
Do tornadoes start at the bottom?
