Yes. Strong to violent tornadoes can sometimes occur near a formation called a bow echo. In some cases, the north side of a bow echo can develop a circulation similar to the mesocyclone of a supercell. One of the more unusualy cases came on April 4, 1981 when a bow-echo produced an anticyclonic F4 tornado that struck the town of West Bend Wisconsin.

Could trees make tornadoes go away?

Is a tornado more violent going clockwise or counter-clock wise?
That depends on where the tornado is. Generally, tornadoes in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise while those in the southern hemisphere rotate clockwise. There are more violent tornadoes in the horthern hemisphere, but that is mostly due to the fact that portions of the United States have an almost perfect setup for producing them. A small percentage of tornadoes rotate in the opposite direction from what is normal. These are called anticyclonic tornadoes (normal tornadoes are cyclonic). Many anticyclonic tornadoes are satellite tornadoes, and are generally weaker than the parent tornado that spawned them. Only one anticyclonic tornado has ever recieved a violent (F4 or F5) rating on the Fujita scale. It was an F4 that hit West Bend, Wisconsin on April 4, 1981.
