The word ‘tornado’ comes from the Spanish word, tronada, meaning thunderstorm. You may be thinking of dust devils when I say tornado, but a dust devil is a strong tornado that moves in the desert. Some people in ancient times thought dust devils were ghosts. They were very mistaken, dust devils aren't anything like ghosts.

Most of the world’s most destructive tornadoes occur during in the mid-west states due to warm air coming into cold air. Sometimes multiple tornadoes form and travel together in swarms. I bet you didn’t know that tornadoes can travel in all shapes, sizes, and color but, the most common is a grey funnel cloud.Tornadoes also have their own sounds. The chances that a tornado is an F5, the highest classification for a tornado on the F-Scale, is less than 0.1%, all though almost all of the most powerful tornadoes occur in the USA. No matter how powerful the tornado, they typically only last for a few minutes. ( http://tornado-facts.com/amazing-tornado-facts/
