Abstract: A mathematical theory of powerful tornadoes in atmospheric air is constructed for which the angular velocity of rotation of air masses in the vortex ring of the mother cloud generating the tornado is much higher than the angular velocity of rotation of the air flow on the Earth's surface. The constructed theory is relevant for applications and allows you to arbitrarily accurately calculate the speed of the air flow in the tornado and determine the geometric funnel-shaped border of the tornado.

Keywords: tornado, powerful tornado, Coriolis force, vortex ring, mother cloud.
