What does a tornado looks like when it is forming?
Visible signs of a possible tornado often start as rotation in the clouds of a severe thunderstorm, often with a lowered section of the cloud base called a wall cloud. As this happens a cloud of dust may appear near the ground as something called a rear-flank downdraft wraps around the rotation. Then a cone, funnel or elephant trunk shaped projection may lower itself from the cloud base. A cloud of dust and debris under this funnel cloud usually means that the tornado has touched down.
