Tri-State Tornado, Deadliest Tornado in US history, killed 695 People and Injured over 2,500 others.
Yes, there have been dozens of F5 Tornadoes. One of the most historic was in Oklahoma on May 3 1999.
No particularly historic tornadoes occurred on March 3, 1925.However, the Tri-State tornado occurred on March 18, 1925. It was the deadliest U.S. tornado, but not the most destructive. That tornado hit portions of eastern Missouri, southern Illinois, and southwestern Indiana.Until recently, the tornado most widely attributed as the most destructive in history was on May 3, 1999 in the Oklahoma City metro area. However, since then the title of most destructive tornado has gone to the one that hit Joplin, Missouri on May 22, 2011.
"Making history" is a very subjective term. What would be considered historic by one person might not be for another. There is one notable case of a tornado coinciding with a major historical event. A likely tornado struck Washington D.C. on August 25, 1814 as British troops were laying siege to the city. A number of British soldiers were killed.
There is no such thing as a mutliple vortex volcano. However, there is such a thing as a mutliple vortex tornado. A tornado itself consists of a vortex. A mutliple vortex tornado contains smaller vortices, called subvortices within the main vortex. Subvortices in a tornado are usually continuously forming and dissipating. Based on historic reports, as many as eight may be present at a time, though there are usually no more than two or three. These vortices circle the center of the tornado, moving with the tornado's rotation. As a result, the rotational speed of the tornado is actually added to the rotational speed of the subvortex. This can result in wind speeds over 100 mph faster than in the rest of the tornado. Such a difference in wind speed can result in significant varation in the severity of damage. This is one reason a tornado can destroy one house while leaving one next to it with only minor to moderate damage.

Countless people have survived tornadoes. Thousands survived tornadoes in 2011 alone. In almost all cases more people will survive a tornado that be killed by it. Some notable survivors of tornadoes include Matt Suter, who was carried 1300 feet by a tornado in Missouri in 2006, the farthest a person has been carried by a tornado and survived. Rock legend Elvis Presley, at the time only a toddler, survived the Tupelo, Mississippi tornado of 1936, the 4th deadliest tornado in U.S. history. A young Thomas P. Grazulis survived the Worcester, Massachusetts tornado of 1953, the 20th deadliest in the U.S. He would grow up to be one of the foremost experts on historic tornadoes.
A tornado watch is a watch that is watching out for tornadoes. A tornado warning is a warning That lets you know that a tornado is spotted.
