AI overview

A tornado is a rapidly rotating column of air that extends from the ground up to a cloud base, often visible as a funnel with swirling debris and dust. Tornadoes matter because they can be dangerous and destructive—while most are relatively small and short-lived, the most extreme ones can produce very high wind speeds and cause significant damage over large areas.
