It depends on the angle the sun is shining or if the sun is above the cloud.

A tornado that doesn't touch the ground isn't a tornado; it is a funnel cloud. However if the funnel is pulling debris off the ground or making some other type of contact with the ground it is a tornado.
The location of Thunderstorm is IN the cloud. The precipitation and lightning is brought to the ground. However, thunder and even some lightning only exist in the cloud or between clouds. It would not matter whether the Thunderstorm is over land or water. That said, any area of a country with the right atmospheric conditions can experience a Thunderstorm.

Meteorologists measure the amount of cloud cover in the sky using a unit of measurement called an "okta." Basically, one okta is one eighth of the sky that is covered in cloud. The severity of cloud cover ranges from zero oktas to eight, with zero being a completely clear sky and eight oktas being complete cloud cover. It can be fun to observe how the cloud cover will differ from day to day and even from hour to hour. What do you think is responsible for these changes
This means that even when you are having your best day (brightest day) there can always be something in your way or wrong (which would be the cloud) but one cloud on a bright day does not make it anyless bright.

Yes. For one thing, a tornado may be on the ground even if it does not appear to be. Even if it is not on the ground (at which point it's just a funnel cloud) it can touch down very quickly
The main purpose of wearing bright colors is to be identifiable in the dark even when the lights are not appropriate

They are often dark gray or even black, but not always. In terms of color they could look like fairly ordinary storm clouds.
Black, light blue, white, gray, and sometimes even orange depending on how dark the blue is.
you may not have a good ground. check your ground wire.
The funnel cloud of a tornado is full of water droplets just like an ordinary cloud. As a result it blocks light and may appear dark. A tornado may also appear dark if it is lifting large amounts of dark soil into the air. However, not all tornadoes are dark in color. Front-lit tornadoes may appear light gray or even white. Depending on the soil some tornadoes may be light tan, to reddish brown, to gray in color.
Lightning can strike upwards, from the ground to the sky, and it can also strike downwards, from one cloud to another, or from one part of a cloud to another part. (see: http://www.answers.com/topic/lightning)
