How do tornadoes split?
Tornadoes do not exactly split. Some tornadoes have more than one vortex within the main circulation. In most cases these vortices are hidden inside the funnel, but if conditions are right they can become visible, resulting in a tornado with multiple funnels. The appearance of these vortices or the visual effect of one coming out from behind another can sometimes make it look like a tornado is splitting.
