Just like a ball on fountain water or speed of the train repulse the paper or matter from the out side.Everything depend upon the Speed, and Pressure.

"These storms descend like a dagger from the clouds."
I sorta imagined a dagger descent as being faster and less twisty. Evidently I'm using the wrong kind of dagger.

Digg's font and tired eyes made me read it as "How Tomadoes Work." I was confused but then I lol'd.

I thought it read "tomadoes". Silly me.

For another cool video of a tornado check out this visualization from the NCSA. We have a copy of this at the university where I work that displays in 3D on a 8x12 foot projection wall. It's absolutely amazing:

What you're looking at is a graphical representation of what goes on inside a tornado. The orange/blue arrows show the direction, speed (length) and relative temperature of the wind currents within the tornado. The cones on the ground show the characteristics of the winds as they're sucked up from the ground. The balls in the center are the center wall of the tornado. And the gray wispy stuff represents the outer walls of the tornado.
About 40 seconds into the video you start to see a second column of balls appear and start spinning around the first one. From what I was told the folks at the NCSA first thought that they had a bug in their mathematical modeling and/or rendering of their data so they went back and re-analyzed the data collected from the tornado. On further analysis they realized that they had actually captured a case of one tornado spawning off a new secondary one - something that they apparently don't see very often.

Your name says you are a boy still. You wait until you grow up and we'll tell you. Nice try, kiddo!

Lame. Try the tornado on a mans ass sometime and see what happens! ;)

Dugg for weather.
Meteorologists represent!

I wonder if the models account for the extra energy air masses gain when they flow southward, due to friction with air that is traveling faster from different rotational Earth surface speeds due to latitude. Going from Chicago to the southern US, e.g., it meets air that is moving westward an extra 50 mph. Air flowing north from the latitude of Miami to Washington DC is even greater -- a speed difference of 120 mph.

F'in tornadoes, how do they work?
