Supercells have very strong, rotating updrafts (upward moving air currents). The updraft is what feeds a thunderstorm. This pulls large mounts of moisture into the storm, meaning a lot of rain in a short period. Cooling from this rain can produce violent downbursts with destructive winds. The updraft also keeps hailstones aloft, so that they can grow quite large before falling to earth. Finally, the strength and rotation in the updraft of a supercell creates the ideal conditions for the formation of tornadoes, including the most destructive F4 an d F5 storms.
