A 2 percent tornado probability typically means that isolated and probably weak tornadoes are possible.
This qualifies as a high-risk outlook. A 30 percent tornado probability typically means that the Storm Prediction Center anticipates a major tornado outbreak with the potential for multiple long-track and violent tornadoes.
It can vary considerably as the is a fair degree of uncertainty. Usually it will mean a few scattered and mostly weak tornado will occur. Tornadoes stronger than EF2 are probably unlikely, though there are exceptions. This qualifies as a slight risk outlook.
This is a high-risk outlook. A 60 percent tornado outlook would mean that the SPC anticipates an extremely intense tornado outbreak with multiple violent tornadoes. Only one such outlook has been issued. It was on April 7, 2006. The event was far less severe than anticipated.
This qualifies as a high-risk outlook. Such an outlook generally means that the SPC anticipates a major tornado outbreak with the potential for multiple long-tracked and violent tornadoes. Since the SPC started publishing outlooks online in 2003, only four days have featured 45% or greater tornado outlooks.

100% is not probable, it is definite
No, it means it might, with a probability of 0.1
A thirty percent chance is a low probability, so it probably won't rain, but it could.
Such an outlook is categoriezed as a slight risk. Tornado activty in such an instance can vary quite a bit as such outlooks come with a high degree of uncertainty. To a large degree what is likely to happen depends on the area covered. Such outlooks often indicate a few tornadoes, some of which may be strong, can occur, especially if there is a hatched area included. In some cases a moderate tornado outbreak may occur. Sometimes there is potential for one or two violent tornadoes. Again, though, as there is a high degree of undertainy in many cases, sometimes the forecast tornadoes fail to develop.
There is a 2 in 5 chance that the spinner will stop in a red section.
When a storm spawns a tornado it produce a tornado.
The debris and objects that were lifted by the tornado will fall back to the ground. Depending on the intensity of the tornado, the damage to buildings and structures can be severe. Recovery efforts, cleanup, and assessment of the affected area typically follow after the tornado dissipates.
