There are a few possible explanations.

Tornadoes are often made visible by the condensation of moisture inside the vortex. If a parcel of dry air enters the tornado, or if the tornado weakens, the visible funnel may evaporate. In this case the tornado is still present and still dangerous, but it has essentially become invisible.

A variation of this phenomenon can happen in multiple vortex tornadoes. Tornadoes like this contain multiple smaller, short-lived vortices within a larger tornado. If the amount of moisture in the air is just right, the smaller vortices will be visible as they form and dissipate, but not the larger vortex will remain invisible.

In other cases the processes that cause a tornado to dissipate may start, but not finish, causing a tornado to temporarily lift.

In other cases a thunderstorm may go through cycles of strengthening and weakening. In the process it can produce multiple tornadoes one after another.

When an eye of a tornado comes back more severe than the general tornado what is that called?

When the eye of a tornado becomes more intense and destructive than the larger tornado, it is known as a "tornado within a tornado" or a "satellite tornado." This phenomenon occurs when a smaller, more powerful vortex forms within the main tornado circulation.


When a tornado disappears then comes back is called?

In some cases one tornado will dissipate completely, and then a completely new tornado will form afterward from the same thunderstorm. This is called a tornado family.


What happens to the stuff in a tornado when the tornado stops?

If you mean the debris being carried by a tornado, if it hasn't already been thrown out of the tornado it simply gets dropped to the ground once the tornado is no longer strong enough to carry it.


Is a twister bigger than a tornado?

No, a twister and a tornado are terms that are often used interchangeably to refer to the same weather phenomenon. Both terms describe a rapidly rotating column of air that comes into contact with the ground.


How much rain comes from a tornado?

A tornado itself does not produce rain, but it can accompany a tornado. The storms the produce tornadoes, called supercells typically produce very heavy rain, often enough to prompt flash flood warnings. This rain may stop before the tornado comes, or the tornado may be rain wrapped. Some storms however, called LP (low-precipitation) supercells produce little to no rain at all, but can still produce tornadoes.
