A '''tornado''' is a violently rotating column of air, regarded to be the windiest phenomenon on the Earth (besides Rush Limbaugh). They are also referred to as '''twisters''', '''cyclones''', or '''third thing.''' Tornadoes come in many shapes and sizes including large funnels, huge cones, gigantic triangles, and big upside-down pyramids. Most such have wind speeds less than 110 miles per hour and are 250 feet across or less, although some have been known to reach speeds and proportions great enough to threaten A-list celebrities such as Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton.
