What is a tornado?

Tornadoes are a column of air that is rotating (spinning) violently around. They form out of clouds in the sky, and travel down towards the ground. When the narrow part of the column touches the Earth, it picks up soil and debris that is nearby. Most tornadoes have wind speeds over 40 mph. They usually travel for a few feet before breaking up (dissipating). (some information from: wikipedia/tornadoes)
