To be put briefly: rolling air called wind shear gets turned vertical by a thunderstorm's updraft. This starts the storm rotating, turning into a supercell. Under the right conditions this rotating updraft, called a mesocyclone, can tighten and intensify into a tornado.

Are there benefits of a tornado?

Nature has always influenced culture. Nature controls mankind but humans also use nature to their advantages like in agriculture. For Tornadoes, there are some benefits for them. Tornadoes can clear out bad vegetation and to promote growth and I'm sorry to say but can be seen as population control. But maybe that's besides the point. Tornadoes happen because they are one small part of a larger system that helps balance out the earth. Tornadoes may be bad but it's one small sacrifice to promote the other benefits of nature.
