Possible definitions for torsade
tornado
Violent low-pressure storm, relatively small in diameter but with very rapidly rotating winds and an intense updraft near the center. The relatively low pressure at the center of a tornado's funnel-like vortex causes cooling and condensation, making the storm visible as a revolving column of cloud, called the funnel. Tornadoes normally travel at 30-40 mph (50-65 kph). The winds around the vortex average nearly 300 mph (500 kph) and have been known to reach 500 mph (800 kph). Tornadoes often occur in groups.
