The Greensburg tornado changed its appearance throughout its time on the ground. At times it was a vertical column, while at other times it was a cone with the narrow end touching the ground. When it hit Greensburg it was a massive lowering of the clouds well over a mile wide, appearing to be wider than it was tall. At this time it could only bee seen during flashes of lightning.

What is the usual shape of a tornado?

Tornadoes come in different shapes, and the shape changes during the life of the tornado. Some tornadoes are like thin tubes or ropes, some look like large wedges. If it is wrapped in rain, or there isn't enough light, it can be hard to see a tornado. Sometimes clouds may look like a tornado but aren't, so looking for other clues like rotation is important.


Why do tornadoes look like spaghetti?

It is rather unusual for a tornado to look like spaghetti. If a tornado does take on such an appearance it most likely means the tornado is dissipating or "roping out." It is believed that this occurs when cold air chokes of the warm air that feeds the mesocyclone, the rotating updraft that drives the tornado. When this happens the tornado begins to shrink and weaken. Winds within the parent storm can somtimes cause a tornado at this stage to bend into unusual shapes.
