In the northern hemisphere the right side of a tornado is generally worse. Since most tornadoes in the northern hemisphere rotate clockwise the winds right side of the tornado will be equal to the speed at which it spins plus the speed it is moving at. The opposite is true in the Southern Hemisphere.

What makes a wedge tornado?
A wedge tornado is a tornado that appears wider than it is tall.
Is a tornado bigger than a twister?
No. A tornado and a twister are the same thing.
What is the rotation of a tornado?
The rotation of a tornado is it spinning or turning. A tornado is defined as a violently rotating column of air in contact with the cloud base and the ground.
Can a tornado pass over a fork in a river?
Yes. A river, forked or not, will not affect a tornado.
What would an E4 tornado equal in a hurricane?
There is no such thing as an E4 tornado. You most likely mean an EF4 tornado. The estimated winds for an EF4 tornado are 166-200 mph. That is equivalent to a category 5 hurricane (winds 156 mph or greater).
Is a twister worse than a tornado?
No. Twister is just another word for a tornado.
Is tornado warning or watch worse?
A tornado warning is worse. It means that a tornado has been detected or the threat of one is imminent. A tornado watch means the overall conditions are favorable to form in a general area.
Is a tornado watch or warning worse?
A tornado warning is worse. It means that a tornado has been detected or the threat of one is imminent. A tornado watch means the overall conditions are favorable to form in a general area.
The strongest winds are on which side of a tornado?
As with hurricanes the strongest winds are generally on the right side of a tornado.
When was the worse tornado in history?
The worst tornado ever recorded was the Daulatpur-Salturia tornado that touched down in Bangladesh on April 26, 1989. The death toll is estimated at 1300.
Is a tornado worse than a hurricane?
The winds in a tornado funnel are perhaps faster (and therefore more destructive) than a hurricane, but the diameter of a tornado is very very small compared with a hurricane.
What worse a watch or a warning?
A warning is worse. It means that something (like a tornado) has been detected or the threat of one is imminent. A watch means the overall conditions are favorable to form bad weather (such as a tornado) in a general area.
Which is worse advisory or watch or warning?
A warning is generally the worse advisory. Although it differs depending on which sort of watch or warning is issued, a watch means a particular event is possible. For example, if there is a tornado watch, it means that conditions are favorable for a tornado to form. A warning means the event is expected or probable. In a tornado warning, for example, it means that a tornado has been spotted or is forming.
What would happen if an atomic bomb exploded in a tornado?
The explosion would probably disrupt the tornado. However, the effects of the blast and fallout would likely be worse than anything the tornado could do. Even then, the parent thunderstorm may still go on to produce another tornado.
What type of tornado is worse super cell or non-super cell?
Supercell tornadoes are usually worse. Nearly all F3 and stronger tornadoes form in supercells.
What part of the tornado has the fastest winds?
In a single-vortex tornado the fastest winds are found at the outer edge of the core, generally on the tornado's right side in the northern hemisphere and the left side in the southern. In a multiple-vortex tornado the fastest winds are found in the subvortices within the main circulation.
Is a tornado watch better than a tornado warning?
Yes. A tornado watch simply means that general conditions are favorable for tornadoes to form. A tornado warning means that a tornado has been detected or may form at any moment.
