Best Answer

A tornado can move in any direction, but the most common direction of travel is southwest to northeast. Southeast-moving tornadoes are not uncommon.

Do the winds turn north south east are west in a tornado?

The fact that the a tornado spins means that the winds move in all directions at different points within the tornado, as they make a full 360 degree rotation. In the northern hemisphere tornadoes spin counterclockwise, so winds on the north side of a tornado blow east to west, those on the west side blow north to south, those on the south side blow west to east, and those on the east side blow south to north. This is reversed in the southern hemisphere where tornadoes spin clockwise.
