Tornado is a strong rotating vortex of air, which has a relatively stable wind speed, which may exceed 30 m/s. The whirlwind is stretched from the cumulative cloud to the surface of the water or earth. The energy of the usual tornado is comparable to the energy of the reference atomic bomb, similar to the one that was blown up in the United States during tests in New Mexico in 1945.
