well i can think of two ways to do a tornado

1st: “Twister” used a windsock wrapped around a pole. Do that and edit out the background

2nd: do a coke bottle tornado. I dont know if you can still buy it, but people used to have a device you attached to 2 bottles. Fill one as full as you want, then swirl it around for a few seconds and turn it upside down. It will have a tornade effect as it fills the other bottle.

you could do either and edit the background.
