If you are using R8, there is a nice Thinking Particles Tornado at http://www.the3ddesigner.de/ (download area).

If you using R7

Creat an emitter (birth rate at least 500)

now creat (particle)Rotation attractor and turbulance .........If you place them correctly you would get a nice tornado.

I've had this laying around for a while. Simply load, press play, then click and drag to swirl around the tornado tail.

You'll need to apply pyrocluster, or some lights/sprites to make it render though.
