The best way doe explain it is through a concept called the conservation of angular momentum. Most tornadoes originate from a larger but less intense rotating air mass called a mesocyclone. Under the right conditions, a portion of the mesocyclone can become narrower. As a result, the rotation speeds up. This is similar to a spinning figure skater speeding up as she pulls her arms in.

Why are the winds of a tornado so fast?

It is due to something called the conservation of angular momentum. When something is spinning and you pull it into a smaller radius, it speeds up. Tornadoes form when a mesocyclone, the rotating updraft of a thunderstorm, is squeezed into a tighter, more intense circulation.
