Best Answer

The tornado is part of the updraft of a thunderstorm that has become focused and very intense. The pressure inside a tornado is lower than in the surroundings, so air is dran into the tornado and then upwards by the updraft.

Most tornadoes cannot "suck up" much more than small objects. Tornadoes can suck in and lift objects as the low pressure pulls air inward at great speed. In the tornado air then travels upward rapidly, often carrying some objects with it.

Can tornadoes carry up water?

Ultimately, all of them do. Most tornadoes do not form on water, but all of them develop from thunderstorms. Thunderstorms ge their energy from moisture in the atmosphere.
