So I've seen a lot of bad storms where I live including a tornado that I took a video of but I've never seen a storm like the one coming now. First an area of the clouds started spinning as if a tornado was going to form but then they started to tilt and keep spinning. Eventually they started spinning downwards like the way a tire on a car in reverse would spin. The clouds kept spinning downwards and getting lower and lower but that was the front and it passed me now. I tried to find something similar to what just happened but I couldn't find anything. Does anyone know what happened or what it's called?

Well the bad storm is probably a super cell or something along the lines of it, I really don't know about the clouds thingy...

It was hot air rising fast, causing low pressure. But when the hot air rising is knocked by cold air, the hot air is set into a spiral. So when the hot air is in a spiral. It is just a lot of hot air rising upwards very fast, but it's mixing with cold air and causing high and low pressure to mix.

But if there isn't enough hot air, or cold air. Then the tornado will not fully grow, then you only have a mini twister(:

I looked at the supercell on wikipedia and it sounds like it was wind shears. Nothing to worry about yet.
