When a tornado is done, where does it go?

Question

This is a question my six-year-old just asked me, looking for answers, please!

Answer 1

Cubanchango has a nice answer! Put some water in your sink. Pull the plug. Show your six-years-old the water draining like a tiny maelstrom, put the plug again and everything becomes quiet. The maelstrom is gone nowhere, it just stopped working.

PS: Incidentally, Maelstrom is the name of a place in my country, Norway, that was made famous by Edgar Allan Poe.

Answer 2

As it runs out of energy, it dissipates into the atmosphere.

Answer 3

It fizzles away or disappears...like water going down a drain

Answer 4

it's like a top; it loses power and calms down.

Answer 5

Back to h**l where it belongs!

Answer 6

the tornado dissipates or runs out of energy so it just disappears

Answer 7

Down the toilet I think.  Or would that be a whirlpool...?  

Good question.  It just fizzles out.

Answer 8

The tornado runs out of moisture/energy to keep it's destructive path. So, it disipates into the clouds.
