It can blow from any of those directions, because wind directions are caused by low pressure and high pressure areas and their position relative to where you are. Air currents in a low pressure area move counter-clockwise, air currents in a high pressure area move clockwise. So if there is a low pressure area north of you, the counter-clockwise air movement will cause a wind blowing from west to east.
There are however prevailing wind directions in most areas of the globe including the USA. What it is in your area will depend on where you live. Flagstaff Arizona for instance has a south westerly wind most of the time, while San Francisco usually has a north-westerly wind. Jus Google "prevailing wind direction" plus the name of your State and you will find what it is where you live.

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.
