No. While most tornadoes rotate in a direction that matches earth's (clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern), a small percentage go against this. The origin of the spin in tornadoes is not directly related to earth's rotation. Most tornadoes also move in an easterly direction, but not always.
Tornadoes generally move in a straight path and do not typically follow the contour of hills. However, the intensity of a tornado's winds can be affected by the terrain it encounters. In some cases, a hill may disrupt or weaken a tornado, but it is not a definitive factor in its movement.
Tornadoes are rotating columns of air that form from severe thunderstorms, while straight line winds are strong, non-rotating winds that move in a straight line. Tornadoes can cause more localized and intense damage, with their spinning motion often resulting in more destruction in a concentrated area. Straight line winds, on the other hand, can cause widespread damage over a larger area due to their strong and consistent force.
No. Many tornadoes form in a rain-free portion of their parent thunderstorms. Some tornadoes form with low-precipitation supercells, which produce little or no rain.
Tornadoes typically move in the direction of the prevailing winds, but they can also change direction due to the local terrain. Tornadoes can move downhill if the conditions are right, but it is not common.
Tornadoes typically move in a straight path, rather than following the elevation of the terrain. While tornadoes may appear to move uphill or downhill due to changes in the landscape, their movement is determined by the atmospheric conditions that created them.

Big tornadoes are usually strong, but not always. A large, poorly organized tornado is not likely to be very strong. Some tornadoes even weaken as they expand.
No. Tornadoes are fairly rare in California and they are almost always weak. That said, a few tornadoes have occurred in the LA area.
All tornadoes are dangerous. Wedge tornadoes are usually stronger and thus more dangerous than smaller tornadoes, though this is not always the case.

Generally stronger tornadoes last longer, though this is not always they case.
Usually move straight in their path, but they can change direction.
Tornadoes nearly always spin counterclockwise if they are in the northern hemisphere and clockwise if they are in the southern hemisphere.

They can. The belief that hills stop tornadoes is a complete myth.
