8. It does make sense

It isn't precipitation, it is a flood. A narrow directed flood of water, maybe even some hail in it.

Winds do cause some damage, because the wind is blowing already. The wind is so strong it makes the funnel form.

Ask yourself, when looking at a forming tornado, does it drop down from the cloud? Is it the same color as the cloud?

It is the same color and it does drop down from the cloud. It is cloud. The cloud is full of water and ice. The tornado is full of water. They are one and the same.

When that water in the tornado drops to the ground it comes down hard, like a firehose X 100. Ever seen the damage a firehose can do?

So where do these tons of water go? Thor_MN Jun 2013 #11

Waterpik effect...? Good example RobertEarl Jun 2013 #12

Most people don't know what a hydrojet is, so Water Pik is more familiar Thor_MN Jun 2013 #13

Not saying it is a major effect RobertEarl Jun 2013 #14

Didn't really get that from your other posts, but in terms of genesis of a tornado, I'd say no. Thor_MN Jun 2013 #15

See the funnel dropping from the cloud? RobertEarl Jun 2013 #16

Aaaaannd, you just destroyed your theory... Thor_MN Jun 2013 #17

In a sense yes RobertEarl Jun 2013 #18

If you consider Dust Devils, it only takes one to tango Thor_MN Jun 2013 #19
