There is no special sense for detecting tornadoes. Aside from keeping and eye on weather advisories, the best way to know a tornado is nearby is to see it. Seeing a tornado is not always possible as the tornado may be shrouded in heavy rain, hidden in the dark of night, or blocked from view by buildings, trees, or hills. Tornadoes also make sound, but it is not a reliable indicator, as simple thunderstorm winds can make a similar roaring sound, and the tornado itself may not be audible until it is dangerously close. The pressure drop in a tornado can cause your ears to pop, but the tornado has to be practically on top of you for this to happen.

When does a tornado actually become a tornado?
A tornado is officially confirmed when a rotating column of air reaches the ground and makes contact with the surface. This contact creates the characteristic funnel cloud shape that is associated with tornadoes.
What is the pressure of a tornado?
No one really know pressure can vary for the type or category of a tornado.
Is it easier for a tornado to lift heavier objects or lighter objects?
Tornadoes are more likely to lift lighter objects as they generate an upward force with their strong winds. Heavier objects may be more difficult for tornadoes to lift unless they are caught in the vortex of the tornado's winds.
How is a tornado in a bottle project similar to a real tornado?
A tornado in a bottle project uses liquid to simulate the vortex motion of a real tornado. Both involve rotating air masses creating a funnel shape. However, the scale and force of a real tornado are much stronger and destructive than what can be replicated in a bottle.
What is the proper name for a tornado?
The proper name for a tornado is "tornado." It is a rapidly rotating column of air that is in contact with both the surface of the Earth and a cumulonimbus cloud or, in rare cases, the base of a cumulus cloud.

No. The funnel itself is made of condensation from the tornado sucking in moist air. In that sense it is much like an ordinary cloud.
Can gerbils sense when a tornado is coming?
Probably not. Although they may respond to signs that storm is coming, perhaps by hearing thunder before we do, it is unlikely that they can sense tornadoes specifically.
Does a tornado jump?
In a sense. Some tornadoes are only in intermittent contact with the ground, touching down and lifting multiple times.
What are condensation funnel cloud and debris cloud?
The condensation funnel of a tornado is basically a cloud formed when moisture inside a tornado condenses and in that sense it is similar to an ordinary cloud. The debris cloud of a tornado is a cloud of debris picked up by a tornado usually from buildings and trees the tornado has damaged or destroyed.
