Tornadoes are not necessarily dark, though they are often opaque. Tornadoes occur during severe thunderstorms and the clouds of such storms often block a significant amount of sunlight. The condensation funnel is essentially a part of the cloud and will appear a similar color. However tornadoes that are front lit can appear light gray or even white. Tornadoes can also lift up large amounts of soil, which changes the color of the tornado. If the soil is dark, the tornado will be too.
Yes. Tornadoes are often made visble by condensation in their funnels and by dust and debris. However, some tornadoes may be obsured from view by rain or the dark of night.
The funnel cloud of a tornado is full of water droplets just like an ordinary cloud. As a result it blocks light and may appear dark. A tornado may also appear dark if it is lifting large amounts of dark soil into the air. However, not all tornadoes are dark in color. Front-lit tornadoes may appear light gray or even white. Depending on the soil some tornadoes may be light tan, to reddish brown, to gray in color.
Tornadoes do not always appear black. The apparent color depends on lighting conditions and how much and what color of soil is being lifted. Many tornadoes appear dark because of perspective: the are lit from behind and are essentially silhouetted against the light source. The same tornado may appear lighter if viewed from a different angle. The storms that spawn tornadoes have very thick clouds that often making conditions appear very dark. The clouds themselves may be black. Some tornadoes may be black as they lift large amounts of black soil into the air.
Yes. The region is so prone to tornadoes that it is sometimes called Tornado Alley.
Not all tornadoes are black. There are two ways a tornado may appear black. First, the tornado may be back lit, causing it to appear dark. Some tornadoes lift large amounts of soil into the air. In such a situation, if the soil in an area is black, the tornado will likely be black as well.
Tornadoes often lift soil from the ground. This soil usually scatters as it is picked up, so it is usually most visible in the bottom portion of the tornado. This dust whirl as it is called will take on the color of the area's soil, and many tornadoes happen to hit areas with dark colored soils.
yes
yes you need to watch out for tornadoes especially when they are formed from a dark cloud. they are not trustworthy!!

Tornadoes are not landforms, and so cannot be affected by weathering.
Tornadoes pose a direct threat to people's lives. Most people who die in tornadoes are killed by debris. People may be caught off guard, especially if the tornado is hidden by heavy rain or the dark of night.
Tornadoes do not cause lighting. However tornadoes form during thunderstorms, so they are often accompanied by lightning.
Many tornadoes appear black because the lift dark colored soil or are view while backlit. It is actually quite common for a tornado to have a gray appearance.
Tornadoes do occur in the UK, so it is entirely possible for them to occr in Basingstoke.
Tornadoes are not alive so you can't really say whether they survive or not.
