So it is tornado season again and it is BAD tornado siren went off April, 19, 2026, anyways here is how a tornado forms; when warm, moist air near the ground clashes with cold, dry air higher up, creating instability and strong wind shear that makes air spin horizontally. Powerful updrafts in thunderstorms tilt this spinning air vertically, narrowing and speeding it up until a funnel cloud extends from the storm to the ground. key details for an tornado to form; Wind Shear: A change in wind speed or direction with height creates a horizontal, rotating tube of air. Updrafts: Intense thunderstorms lift this horizontal rotating air into a vertical position. Supercell Thunderstorms: Most strong tornadoes emerge from these specialized rotating thunderstorms, where the updraft and downdraft are separated, allowing the storm to persist. Funnel Cloud Touchdown: When the rotating column, or funnel cloud, touches the ground, it officially becomes a tornado. COOL THINGS press 1 for the tornado sirens to go off. This demo employs a 3D interface to simulate the formation of a twister in a tornado. Use Up/Down Right/Left arrows and a/z keys rotate the environment along the x,y,z axis.
The 3D interface is a based on a projection algorithm I developed some years ago
