How to make a tornado?

[Scarface]

hey guys, nice site you have here...Anybody here know how to paint a tornado in photoshop? I have my own method of using the Radial Blur filter, but it never comes out to look "real".

Does anybody know how to do this? Any tutorials, or certain techniques you guys use?

Thanks alot,

This thread might help... I think the basic concepts would be the same, even though the subject is different it should give you some starting blocks if you don't have any...
