I really love torandoes and I think they are very cool. I do not know much about torandoes and that is why I'm asking this question. I've noticed that tornadoes that don't touch ground still pull objects toward it. That's where my question comes. Please anwser my question if you know anything about my question. Thanks!

  1. It's suction rather than magnetism.  The air swirls around at 150 mph or more, and the circular motion creates a suction vortex.  The reverse happens when you let the water out of a bathtub.  Tornadoes have the highest wind speeds of any weather phenomenon, and are therefore very dangerous.  They sound like a freight train and do a remarkable amount of damage.


  2. Not any significant magnetism. Strong winds blow into tornadoes, that is what "pulls" object toward them.  Also, the condensation funnel (the cloud of a tornado) does not have to reach to the ground for the tornado to be considered to be on the ground.

  3. No magnetism......strong updrafts though.

    what you see of the tail of a tornado on the ground is really the debris, dust and whatever else was picked up by the updrafts.....a tornado is a wind vortex with an updraft.  You can't see wind, so if the tornado was touched down, you wouldn't know it until you saw debris being sucked in or unless the vortex was dusted with debris.
