What else can I help you with?
Can tornadoes combine to be one big tornado?
Tornadoes can merge together, yes, and vortex physics predict that the combined tornado will be larger than either of the merging tornadoes. However, most tornado mergers involve a large tornado absorbing a small one, so the larger tornado is not affected very much.
Is it a big or little tornado in Baltimore?

What happens when 2 tornadoes combine?
When two tornadoes combine, it is known as a tornado outbreak.

Can a cyclone turn into a tornado?
No. A cyclone can produce tornadoes, but it cannot become one. They are two very different types of weather event.
Can four tornadoes join together and make a big one?
Most likely not, as the chances of having two tornadoes close enough to merge is unlikely. However, some tornadoes, especially large, violent ones, somtimes have a series of smaller vortices inside the main vortex of the tornado. Under the right conditions these vortices can become visible, resulting in a tornado with multiple funnels. Tornadoes with four or more funnels have been observed. In some instances, these vortices will be visible for a time and then suddenly become hidden within the main funnel or debris cloud, making it look like they have merged.
How big was okc ok tornado?
Oklahoma City has been hit by many tornadoes. The most famous Oklahoma City tornado was the one which struck on May 3, 1999. That tornado was a mile wide and was rated F5.
When tornadoes join what are they called?
It is rare for tornado to actually merge, and when it does happen it usually involves a large tornado absorbing a smaller one. In the rare cases that tornadoes do merge they simply form one bigger tornado.
What happens if 2 tornadoes collide?
When two tornadoes collide, it is most likely that the stronger tornado will absorb the weaker one. The collision may lead to an increase in size and intensity of the tornado before eventually dissipating.
Are tornadoes in tornado alley violent?
A tornado anywhere is a violent event. If you mean by the technical definition of a violent tornado, one rated EF4 or EF5, such tornadoes do occur fairly regularly in Tornado Alley, but make up a very small minority of the tornadoes that occur there. As with most places, most of the tornadoes in Tornado Alley are rated EF0 or EF1.
