A Violent Storm - Assessment

WHY?

The water swirls in a funnel shape as it pours from the top bottle. The falling water looks like a tornado. as in a real tornado, warm air rises very rapidly upward causing wind to rotate violently. Because the temperature is low and the surrounding air pressure is also low, water vapor condenses and rains occur.
