What else can I help you with?
Are tornadoes visible?
Yes. Tornadoes are often made visble by condensation in their funnels and by dust and debris. However, some tornadoes may be obsured from view by rain or the dark of night.
Does a tornado need a wall cloud?
Not all tornadoes have a visible wall cloud. A wall cloud is a rotating cloud formation that can sometimes be associated with the development of a tornado, but it is not a requirement for a tornado to form. tornadoes can develop without a visible wall cloud if the conditions are right.
Do tornadoes never touch the ground?
Yes, tornadoes do touch the ground. If the don't they are not considered tornadoes. However, in order to qualify the visible funnel does not have to reach ground winds, just the vortex of wind.
What clouds appear when tornadoes occur?
Tornadoes typically form within cumulonimbus clouds, which are large and vertically developed clouds associated with thunderstorms. These clouds can have a distinct anvil shape and may exhibit features such as a rotating updraft known as a mesocyclone. However, tornadoes themselves are not visible until they make contact with the ground, at which point they can pick up debris and dust, creating a visible funnel cloud.
What cloud works with tornadoes?
Tornadoes develop during thunderstorms, which are associated with cumulonimbus clouds. Many will descned from a wall cloud at the base of a thunderstorm. The tornado itself may be visible as a funnel cloud.
Are tornadoes visible from space?

Is there any extreme tornadoes?
It depends on what you mean by extreme. Tornadoes of EF4 and EF5 tornadoes, however are often referred to as violent tornadoes. These account for about 1% of all tornadoes.
Where and how often do tornadoes occur?
Tornadoes happen all around the world and it depend on your location as to how many tornadoes you will have.
Do tornadoes only form in North America?
Yes, tornadoes can happen almost anywhere that there are thunderstorms.
Do tornadoes have to touch the ground?
No, tornadoes do not have to touch the ground to be considered a tornado. A tornado is considered to be a rotating column of air that extends from the base of a thunderstorm to the ground. However, not all tornadoes reach the ground, and those that do are most likely considered more dangerous.
What county of Arizona gets tornadoes?
