Actually, tornadoes are all of the above.

Having lived thru BLACK SUNDAY,I can assure you there is no good that can come from a tornado.

I would agree with Wildbill (mark it in the books). Having grown up in Hurricane Alley, I have seen what all can happen with tornados. My parents lived through the tornado of Witcha Falls, Tx in the 70s, and there was some interesting things that came from that one...like pine needles in emptied wine bottles with corks and seals still intact. Down there, as well as here, they are a way of life. All of the options are valid...

Tornados are a physical phenomena, much as a sunny day.

I lived through the 1966 Tornado that ripped through Topeka, Kansas. My family lost all we owned that day, but we all survived.
I'm still fascinated by tornadoes. When there's a warning, I'm outside looking at the skies...not hiding in the basement.
I believe that God, Mother Nature, or whatever you believe in, sends tornadoes, and other natural disasters, to cull out our overpopulated world. Much as you would an overgrown flower garden.
So if a natural disaster ever takes me away, just picture me in the stack of other flowers that have been pulled so that others have room to flourish. God has given me a wonderful life and when it's time to go...it's time to go.
