When tornadoes build up they collect wind and stir up anything they can . The winds start at the bottom of the tornado and the tornado spins around and the wind builds up; that is how the tornado starts to get its pressure . Some places are at risk because of this storm .Some tornadoes can be visible but if there is rain or fog but sometimes that is not the case .
