Der Tornadostein befindet sich am Wasserleitungsweg im Sonnenberg und erinnert an den verheerenden Tornado, der am 10.07.1968 große Schäden angerichtet hat.
Die Inschrift auf dem Gedenkstein lautet: "Am 10. Juli 1968 gegen 21.30 Uhr richtete ein Tornado, wie er in Europa äußerst selten ist, hier große Verwüstungen an. Die Verwüstungszone war rund 500 m breit, in Frankreich 60 km, in Deutschland 35 km lang. Den Rheintalgraben übersprang der Wirbelsturm. Die verwüstete Fläche wurde alsbald geräumt und wieder angepflanzt. Verwüstete Waldfläche: In Frankreich 260 Ha mit 20.000 m³ zerbrochenen Bäumen, in Deutschland 440 Ha mit 170.000 m³, davon in Pforzheimer Wäldern 172 Ha mit 63.000 m³."
