If Earth had a sideways axial tilt (like Uranus), would Earth still have tornadoes?

Imagine Earth was hit hard by some force so devastating that Earth now has an axial tilt of 90.0 degrees, a far cry from the usual 23.5 degree. The same force somehow eliminates the Moon. In my story, Earth now obliquity oscillates between 89 to 91 degrees and will remain so for another 13000 baktun cycle of the Maya Long Count calendar. With the tides and seasons out of the way, I am wondering: could tornados still form? If so, what mechanism would drive such vortices?
