Which month has more tornadoes than any other month?
May on averages experience the most tornadoes.
Are hurricanes worse than tornadoes or are tornadoes worse than hurricanes?
This cannot be answered simply, as both hurricanes and tornadoes vary greatly in how bad they are. The impacts of both tornadoes and hurricanes can range from negligible to devastating. That said, the very worst hurricanes can be far deadlier and more destructive than the worst tornadoes.
How many tornadoes larger than F3 have hit Mustang OK?
There appear to be no records of any tornadoes stronger than F3 hitting Mustang.
Are tornadoes more common than cyclones?
yes
Is a EF1 bigger than a EF5?
No. First of all, the ratings of tornadoes are based on damage, not size. EF1 is the second weakest category of tornado (there is also an EF0). These tornadoes generally do moderate damage. EF5 is the strongest category. Such tornadoes cause catastrophic damage. Although not always, an EF5 tornado is typically much larger than an EF1.
Do tornado funnels always spin in clockwise directions?
No. In fact the vast majority of tornadoes in the northern hemisphere (more than 99%) spin counterclockwise.
What is another name for a tornado?
Tornadoes are often called twisters or funnels. Some people call tornadoes cyclones, but this is incorrect terminology as a cyclone is technically a much larger type of weather event than a tornado.
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.
Do tornadoes last forever?
No. Most tornadoes last no more than a few minutes.
Are waterspouts larger than tornadoes?
No. Waterspouts are generally smaller than most tornadoes. Though a few are in the same size range that tornadoes typically fall into.
What state mostly has tornadoes?
Most tornadoes hit Texas than any other state
Are there more tornadoes in Tennessee than in Texas?

Are most tornadoes F4s and F5s?
No. F4 and F5 tornadoes account for less than 1% of all recorded tornadoes. About 90% of tornadoes are rated F0 or F1.
Which month has more tornadoes than any other month?
May on averages experience the most tornadoes.
Do tornadoes last up to an hour?
Yes. Some tornadoes may last for more than an hour, but such cases are rare. Most tornadoes do not last more than 10 minutes.
Is there a double tornado?
There can be, in a way. Some tornadoes have subvortices within the main circulation. Usually these cannot be see, but in some cases, when there is just the right amount of moisture and not too much dust, these subvortices can appear as separate funnels. A tornado will usually not have more than two or three subvortices at a time, but some have been observed to have as many as eight funnels.
