Tornado Theory [View all]

Here is my new theory of tornado construction/means of destruction:

The tornado 'tube' is full of water falling from the clouds. It is a cloud falling to earth from as high as 40,000 feet.

The falling water from the cloud hits the circular turning rising air and that air concentrates the falling water into what we see: the circular funnel shaped cloud and the tube reaching to the earth.


When you see the on-ground track of the storm where it crosses open land, a mud trail is left from the impact of water hitting with its mass and velocity.


When that concentrated mass of water hits the ground, it hits like a ton of bricks smashing everything it hits.

Just a theory. Feel free to discuss.
