Which direction will the wind blow when a tornado is near?
That varies. If you are close enough to be in the area of the tornado's inflow then the wind will blow almost directly towards the tornado, perhaps a little to the right of that direction. In that case the wind direction will depend on where the tornado is relative to you. If you are beyond the inflow area for the tornado, then nothing about the wind direction would indicate the approaching tornado.
