Tornado Theory

Your theory states: "As the updraft intensifies, it creates an area of low pressure at the surface. This pulls the focused mesocyclone down,"

What that says is that in the same space two directions of movement are occurring. I find that rather odd to be said. Especially since the water is much heavier than the air.

Here is how I explain what is happening... The downdraft of cool water laden air, already piercing the middle of a warm updraft, causes the air to compact giving the air added movement. It enforces the wind because it displaces it.

Let's try saying this another way:
I doubt that there is much circulation in the downdraft of water bearing cold air. It is just falling because of its weight, same as rain falls. But on the edge of that mass downdraft, the air is already moving and as the downdraft drops, it makes the air move even faster because it is displacing the air.
