What is a tornado According to Climatempo Meteorologia, "a tornado is an ascending air current generated between the base of the supercell and the ground, in the shape of a funnel, with rotating movement. The passage of a tornado causes twists in objects precisely because of this characteristic of intense rotation. The extension of the base of the funnel-shaped supercell is visible on the horizon. When the funnel touches the ground we call it a tornado. In many cases, the funnel is only visible at the base of the cloud and does not reach the ground. The tornado can travel and cause damage over a few kilometers.
