 What is a tornado?
- My favourite URL. Keep an eye on the cow - she is a good indicator of damage.
There are two features of a tornado which can be different. The size of the funnel can be big or small. However, the most important thing is the difference between the air pressure inside the funnel and outside the funnel. This is what makes the tornado more or less powerful.
