In many cases there is too much dust flying around to see much of anything. The funnel itself may look like a very dense fog up close. In some cases, the inside of the tornado may look like a hollow tube with a calm center.

Inside a tornado there are fast, rotating, upward moving winds that decrease in speed toward the center. Many tornadoes have a condensation funnel and a cloud of dust and debris. Some tornadoes have a smaller, short lived suction vortices inside the main circulation. A tornado like this will also have a downdraft at its center.

Air moves upward in a circular fashion around a center of low pressure with air from the outside rushing inward. The drop in pressure causes a drop in temperature, often causing moisture to condense into a funnel. The wind will likely pick up dust and debris, and can potentially damage or destroy any structures the tornado hits.

Winds are very powerful, strong enough to knock down or even lift a person. This wind often carries dirt and debris. The pressure inside a tornado is very low.

Some tornadoes, though, are believed to have an eye-like structure where there is little wind.

Inside a tornado you will find very rapidly rotating winds, and usually some debris and condensation. Many tornadoes are believed to have an area of calm air similar to the eye of a hurricane.
