tornado

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'it's travelled fast' is the definition.

'leading to hurly-burly?' is the wordplay.
'leading to' becomes 'torn' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'hurly-burly?' becomes 'ado' (I've seen this in another clue).
'torn'+'ado'='TORNADO'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tornado that I've seen before include "Destructive wind vortex" , "A violent and destructive whirlwind" , "Donator (anag.)" , "RAF fighter; whirlwind" , "Strong wind" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
