The only way for a tornado to form is when a
cold front from Canada and a warm front from Mexico collide and make a
downdraft in a super cell thunderstorm. When the the warm and cold air
spiral up and become an updraft. The anvil appears which is the top of
the thunderstorm. When the funnel appears it has a small chance of
reaching the ground, but if it does run for cover. Here is a visual
inside a tornado.
