Tornadoes are produced from a rotating updraft called a mesocylcone, which is one of the main features of a powerful type of thunderstorm called a supercell. Supercells form in this way: When the speed and direction of wind changes with altitude it is called wind shear. When this wind shear is strong enough it can start the air rolling along a horizontal axis. If this horizontal vorticity encounters the updraft of a thunderstorm it can get turned vertical. The updraft in turn takes on this rotation and becomes a mesocyclone.
