Yes. Some tornadoes, usually weak ones, have been known to be on the ground intermittently. Another phenomenon that sometimes gives the impression of skipping are multiple vortex tornadoes. These tornadoes contain smaller suction vortices with stronger winds inside the main circulation. Most large, destructive tornadoes cause their worst damage with these vortices. Since winds can vary significantly, it is not uncommon in such a tornado to find very severe damage next to minor or moderate damage.

Can tornadoes skip or bounce from place to place?

Yes. In some cases a tornado will touch down and lift several times before dissipating. This is not to be confused with a tornado family, where a storm produces multiple tornadoes in succsession.

What is the process by large particles bounce and skip along the ground?

Large particles bounce and skip along the ground due to a combination of their momentum, the angle at which they impact the surface, and the properties of the material they are interacting with. When these particles hit the ground at an angle that allows them to deflect rather than absorb the impact, it causes them to bounce or skip.

Which size particles does the wind usually skip and bounce for short distances?

Wind can skip and bounce small particles like dust and sand for short distances. Larger particles such as pebbles or rocks are less likely to be lifted and moved by the wind in this manner.


Do tornadoes really skip?

They usually don't exactly skip. There are several factors that may create the appearance of this. Tornadoes fluctuate in intensity. Some tornadoes have smaller, more intense vorticies in side the main circulation. These vorticies can produce very narrow swaths of more intense damage. Some tornadoes have very narrow damage paths. The quality of a building's construction can affect how much damage it takes.

What size particles does the wind usually skip and bounce for short distances?

Wind can skip and bounce particles that are small and light, such as sand and dust particles. These particles are able to be carried by the wind and lifted off the ground, allowing them to move horizontally for short distances before settling back down.
