What else can I help you with?
Can a tornado happen at night?
Yes, tornadoes can happen at night. While they are more common during the afternoon and evening, tornadoes can still form after dark. Night-time tornadoes can be particularly dangerous as they may be harder to see and receive warnings for.
Can two tornadoes combine?
It is extremely rare for two tornadoes to combine into a single, stronger tornado. It can happen when two separate tornadoes merge in close proximity, but the overall strength and impact of the combined tornado may not be significantly greater than the individual tornadoes.
Can tornadoes form at night?
Yes. Tornadoes can occur at any time of day or night. About 40% of all recorded tornadoes occur at night.
Can there be a tornado at night?

Can you see the curvature of the earth from space?
Yes, astronauts can see the curvature of the Earth from space.
Are there tornadoes and hurricanes in space?
No. Tornadoes and hurricanes are atmospheric phenomena, and there is no atmosphere in space.
If you were to take a picture of earth from space are you able to see weather systems such as midlatitude cyclones fronts tropical cyclones thunderstorms or tornadoes?
You can see systems such as mid latitude cyclones, fronts, and tropical cyclones as well as thunderstorms, though they are not considered their own weather systems. You cannot see tornadoes from space. Tornadoes descend from thunderstorms, which block the view from above. Also, tornadoes, like thunderstorms, are not weather systems, but simply weather events
What do tornadoes look like from space?
Tornadoes themselves cannot be seen from space because they are blocked from above by the thunderstorms that produce them. The link below shows a storm satellite of a storm system that was producing tornadoes at the time the picture was taken. The tornadoes themselves formed under the storms that are seen as the right-hand branch of the spiral-shaped system. Again, what you are seeing is the storm that produced the tornadoes, not the tornadoes themselves. At this resolution individual tornadoes would be too small to see anyway.
Can tornadoes be seen by a satellite?
No. Tornadoes descend from very large parent thunderstorms. If you were to try to see a tornado from space the parent thunderstorm would block it from view. Additionally, many tornadoes are very brief, too brief to orient a satellite.
Is there such thing as a '' space tornado''?
There is no scientific evidence to support the existence of space tornadoes as typically depicted in fiction. However, phenomena such as plasma tornadoes or magnetic tornadoes have been observed on other planets or celestial bodies.
Are tornadoes visible from space?
No. Tornadoes descend from severe thunderstorms. The view from above is blocked by the parent storm.
How can a tornado form in space?
Tornadoes cannot form in space. A tornado is a vortex of air. There is no air in space.
Can Connecticut get a lot of tornadoes?
Connecticut can get tornadoes, but it is unlikely to see large numbers of them.
Every time space shuttle goes up you have tornado?
No. The space shuttle has nothing to do with tornadoes.
Is it common to spot tornadoes even if you are a researcher?
No. It is not common to see tornadoes unless you are a chaser or a spotter.
Where are you most likely to see tornadoes in the us?
The most likely place to see tornadoes in the U.S. is on the great plains, particularly in Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas.
Why do tornadoes happen in Miami?
