We propose a mathematical theory of powerful tornadoes for which the angular velocity of air in the vortex ring of the mother cloud generating a tornado in the upper layers of the atmosphere is much greater than the angular velocity of air currents near the Earth’s surface. This theory can have practical applications, in particular, it can be used to determine, with any given accuracy, the air velocity within a tornado, as well as the funnel-shaped boundary of the tornado.
