Does a tornado come from a cumulonibus cloud?
Yes. Tornadoes are produced by thunderstorms, which from from cumulonimbus cloud. Usually a wall cloud and then a funnel cloud develop at the base of a cumulonimbus cloud before a tornado touches down.
Strong tornadoes form in a low cloud just below a thunderstorm what kind of cloud is this called?
A wall cloud.
Is the mesocyclone under the wall cloud or next to the wall cloud?

Rotating cloud before tornado?
A wall cloud, which is followed by a funnel cloud.

There often is. Most tornadoes are associated with a wall cloud but not all.
Which clouds develop tornadoes?
Tornadoes form in thunderstorms, which are composed of cumulonimbus clouds. Usually a tornado will form from a wall cloud that develops are the based of the cumulonimbus cloud, and will develop from a funnel cloud that comes out of the wall cloud.
Are tornadoes always the rear of a storm?
No, they can be anywhere in the storm after a wall cloud forms. :)No. Althgouh this is where tornadoes typically form, they can also form near the leading edge.

Does a tornado need a wall cloud?
No, some tornadoes will form without a wall cloud. In most cases there are of a variety called landspouts, which are tornadoes that do not form in association with the mesocyclone of a supercell. These tornadoes are typically weak, though on occasion have been known to cause damage as high as F3.
At what point of the supercell does a tornado appear?
A wall cloud i have had lots of tornadoes but i live in sydney.
