Not exactly in the funnel of a tornado, but in somce cases a rainbow may appear next to, in front of, or behind a tornado. This often happens when a tornado is near the edge of a thunderstorm and is surrounded by rain. Since tornadoes most often occur in the late afternoon, the sun can easily be at a low enough angle to produce a rainbow.
