The hole in the center of a tornado is formed in a similar way to the eye of a hurricane. Low pressure inside the tornado pulls air in. As the air moves in it starts spinning faster. At a certain point the tornado is spinning so far that air cannot make it all the way to the center. Instead, air moves down the center. This process is called vortex breakdown and usually only occurs in intense tornadoes.

Is a deep hole in the ground safe from tornadoes?
It depends how deep, but yes the safest thing to do during tornadoes is to get underground. Even ditches on roadsides can provide enough safety from debris and winds, contrary to popular belief that overpasses are safe which is incredibly wrong. But yes the deeper underground the safer especially if under cover.
Do tornadoes strike big cities?
Yes, tornadoes can strike big cities. While less common than in rural areas, tornadoes have been known to hit major cities like Oklahoma City and Dallas.

Was there any tornadoes in glace bay?
Yes. In the late 70s-early 80s (still trying to find the specific date) there were 7 tornadoes in one day in Glace Bay. They formed in the middle of the harbor and travelled outward like spokes on a wheel. One of them passed about 30 ft away from me up the middle of Grant St (off South St). After it had passed the swirl marks could be seen in the pavement right up the middle of the street.
Can tornadoes combine to be one big tornado?
Tornadoes can merge together, yes, and vortex physics predict that the combined tornado will be larger than either of the merging tornadoes. However, most tornado mergers involve a large tornado absorbing a small one, so the larger tornado is not affected very much.
What are the 3 general categories of tornadoes?
Tornadoes are sometimes divided into "weak" tornadoes "strong" and "violent" tornadoes. Weak tornadoes are those rated EF0 and EF1. Most tornadoes are weak. Strong tornadoes are those rated EF2 and EF3. Violent tornadoes are those rated EF4 and EF5. They are the rarest of tornadoes, only about 1% of tornadoes are this strong.
