The thunderclouds have an emi

is described as a sickly greenish
- - black. Out of the base of this dark
thundercloud, a funnel shaped
cloud reaches toward the earth,
spinning counter clockwise.
The funnel varies. Sometimes K
It a sort of thin, dangling rope.
Often it resembles an elephant's
trunk as it weaves back and forth
across its path. .. . -J
Tornadoes usually move from the

from five to 131 miles an hour.
