A tornado originates from a mesocyclone, a circulation a few miles wide found in some thunderstorms. Under the right conditions a downdraft can warp around a portion of the mesocyclone, causing it to tighten and elongate. The elongation brings it to the ground while the tightening causes it to intensify.
