New research combining radar with photos and videos of tornadoes formed shows tornadoes materialize from the ground up, contrary to The first thing that is needed to produce a tornado is a thunderstorm. This happens when the moisture in the air turns into water droplets and forms clouds. Hurricanes and tropical storms, collectively known as tropical cyclones, provide all the necessary ingredients to form tornadoes. First, most It's a twister! It's a twister!
