What do they call more than one tornado?

It depends. More than one tornado produce by a cyclic supercell are called a tornado family. Six or more tornadoes produced by the same storm system is called a tornado outbreak. If one tornado forms next to, and circles another it is called a satellite tornado. Another possibility is what is called a multiple vortex tornado. This is a tornado that has several smaller, more intense suction vorticies moving around inside it, almost like mini-twisters. However, it is still considered one tornado even though it may have two or more funnels.
