Earth's atmosphere has operated on essentially the same mechanics for hundreds of millions, if not billions of years. In that case, tornadoes have almost certainly been occurring since prehistoric times. The climate through much of human history has been fairly stable, which leaves no doubt that there were tornadoes.
The biblical record states there was a "pillar of cloud" the people of Israel witnessed at the Red Sea. It was said to be a "whirlwind" (Psalm 77)
This "pillar of cloud" the ancient Israelites described, is also indentified as having much "rain" and "lightning". So this couldn't have simply been a "dustdevil" as seen in arid lands.
This gives evidence as being the oldest written account (1500 B.C.) to describing what we now know as a supercell tornadic thunderstorm.
It should also be noted, there is more manuscript evidence for those writings than any other ancient text of that period.
