What is a Tornado?

Tornadoes are extreme weather events formed by updrafts and wind shear. The Fujita scale classifies their strength from F0 to F5. Despite understanding their basic formation, tornadoes remain unpredictable due to unknowns in how rotation intensifies. They can travel long distances, causing varying degrees of destruction.
