They don't happen instantly, but they do certainly form quickly compared with other types of storm. This simply has to do with the scale on which they exist. In weather terms tornadoes are microscale weather patterns, referring to things that are less than a few kilometers in size. (The largest known tornado was 4 km, or 2.5 miles wide. Most are much smaller.)
Because of their small size the mechanisms behind microscale systems operate quickly, causing them to form and dissipate in minutes or seconds in most cases. In addition to tornadoes, other microscale systems include turbulence and individual cumulus clouds.
What else can I help you with?
Can a rainbow appear in a funnel of a tornado?
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.
What happens before a tornado occurs?
Before a tornado occurs, the atmosphere needs to be unstable, with warm, moist air at the surface and cold, dry air aloft. Wind shear is also crucial, as it creates the rotation necessary for a tornado to form. Storm systems or supercell thunderstorms often provide the ideal conditions for tornado development.
What phenomenon happens after a tornado?
After a tornado passes, there may be widespread destruction including damage to buildings, trees, and infrastructure. Recovery efforts begin, with emergency services responding to those in need and communities working to rebuild and restore the affected areas. Meteorologists and researchers may study the tornado to better understand its characteristics and potential impacts in the future.

The tornado is not affected. It will continue though the valley as it would over any other terrain.
What happens as a tornado moves?
A tornado moves with its parent thunderstorm. As the tornado moves air flows into it and accelerates to great speeds. Objects caught in the path may be damaged or destroyed.
