Tornado is the second studio album by the American band the Rainmakers, released in 1987.

[6] A remastered version of the album was released in 2012, with eight additional tracks.

The Chicago Tribune wrote that the album "offers more thought-provoking rock and roll that recalls the lyrics of T-Bone Burnett and the sound of Creedence Clearwater Revival and the early Rolling Stones.

"[9] The Los Angeles Times noted that "Bob Walkenhorst's characters are generally the same kind of small-town folk as in [John Cougar] Mellencamp's world, but aren't as stereotyped.

"[8] USA Today said that "songs like 'Snakedance' and 'Tornado of Love' sound terrific—if a bit familiar—but the lyrics are too transparent.
