ALL thunderstorms get their power from a lift source...which is warm, moist air that rises because it is less dense. This is how a cumulus clouds grows taller and larger into the common cumulonimbus cloud which produces a thunderhead...thunderstorm.

Both get their energy from warm, moist air, albeit indirectly. Hurricanes are composed of many thunderstorm cells that have developed into a complex system while tornadoes are spawned by individual storm cells. Thunderstorms get their energy when warm, moist air rises and cools, causing the moisture to condense. That condensation releases a large amount of energy.

Thunderstorms get energy by pulling warm moist air inward and upward. As the air rises it cools, and the moisture in it condenses, releasing energy that had been stored as latent heat.
