Tornado

A tornado, a destructive column of air. Depicted as a gray, funnel-shaped cloud, rotating in contact with the ground.

May be used as a weather icon to represent a tornado. May also be used to represent a metaphorical tornado (e.g., a powerful force or violent outburst).

Google’s tornado was previously blue and white. Microsoft and Samsung’s designs previously depicted tornadoes defending from a cumulus cloud.

Tornado was approved as part of Unicode 7.0 in 2014 under the name "Cloud with Tornado" and added to Emoji 1.0 in 2015.
