Yes. A tornado will generally move in the same direction as its parent storm.
Once a tornado is on the ground meteorologists look at where the tornado is and the direction it is traveling, which allows some prediction of its path. However scientists still do not fully understand how tornadoes change direction, so that cannot be predicted well aside from the tendency of strong tornadoes to make left turns.
The first tornado accurately predicted before it struck was in 1948. The tornado was forecasted by Air Force Capt. Robert C. Miller near Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma.
The direction of a tornado can vary, but tornadoes in Missouri often come from the southwest or west due to the prevailing weather patterns in the region.
Yes. A tornado can move in any direction, though tornadoes that move westward are rare.
Since tornadoes are a form of weather, they would be predicted by a meteorologist.

Yes i can by using technology scientist predicted it.
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.

The speed and direction of a tornado can be determined using Doppler radar by measuring how far the tornado moves between sweeps and in what direction.
No. The Tri-State Tornado occurred in 1925. There were no efforts to predict tornadoes until the 1940s.
Tornados are not scheduled, nor can they be predicted in advance.
THAT Depends on where the Storm that produced that Tornado is going
Tornados are generally unpredictable in terms of their exact path and can change direction rapidly. Meteorologists use various tools to forecast tornado activity and issue warnings, but the specific path a tornado will take cannot be predicted with certainty.
Can't prevent them but they are predicted by weather observations. This is called meteorology. Tornados can be predicted but what can't be predicted is how they move or where they will go next.
There is know way of knowing that. The development of an individual tornado might be predicted, at most, a few minutes ahead of time
