No. An isolated storm is simply a thunderstorm that forms in an area where just a few other thunderstorms are occurring. Such storms generally cannot produce tornadoes.

A tornado is a violently rotating column of air extending from the base of a thunderstorm to the ground. The thunderstorms that produce tornadoes usually come from stronger and better organized systems than those that produce isolated thunderstorms.
