Can a wedge tornado pick up a cinder block?
Yes, a wedge tornado is powerful enough to pick up a cinder block. Tornadoes of this size and strength are capable of lifting and hurling heavy objects through the air with ease. It is important to take shelter and stay safe during tornado warnings to avoid potential damage from flying debris.
Where does the weather happen before a tornado?

Does heavy rain and lightning occur before a tornado?
Heavy rain and lightning can occur before, during, or after a tornado. Typically, thunderstorms with heavy rain and lightning are associated with the conditions that can lead to tornado formation, but not all thunderstorms produce tornadoes.

What type weather is before tornado?
Tornadoes are usually preceded by heavy rain and sometimes large hail as well a thunder and lightning. The rain often stops before the tornado hits, but not always (in which case it is called a "rain wrapped" tornado).
Does a tornado have gravity?
Gravity is present in a tornado, however, for objects that are not too heavy the upward flow of air in a tornado can overpower gravity. Tornadoes are dependent on convection, which requires gravity, but tornadoes themselves are a thermodynamic rather than gravitational event.
