They can't exactly go in ditches because a tornado in almost any case is much wider than a ditch Ditches are actually recommended for cover if other shelter is not available. This does not guarantee survival, however.
No it cannot. This is the reason why people dig ditches and hide in them. Though loose soil can be removed.
It depends how deep, but yes the safest thing to do during tornadoes is to get underground. Even ditches on roadsides can provide enough safety from debris and winds, contrary to popular belief that overpasses are safe which is incredibly wrong. But yes the deeper underground the safer especially if under cover.
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.
No, most tornadoes in the southern hemisphere rotate clockwise. Additionally, some tornadoes, called anticyclonic tornadoes, rotate clockwise in the northern hemisphere. Fewer than 1% of tornadoes are anticyclonic.
Despite it being a funnel, you are less likely to be pulled into a tornado if you are below ground level. The wind tend to go over the ditch more than they go into it. Additionally, the ground around you can shield you from flying debris, the biggest danger in a tornado. Keep in mind, though that a ditch is only to be used as a last resort. If there is a sturdy building nearby go there instead.

Ditches are a kind of hole.
They don't exactly skip over ditches. The winds may have some difficulty entering such a small space, the the main safety advantage is by getting so low you do not present as much of a profile to the winds and are shielded from some of the debris. Getting in a ditch is only a last resort.
Into small separate ditches or estuaries.
No it cannot. This is the reason why people dig ditches and hide in them. Though loose soil can be removed.
They can. The belief that hills stop tornadoes is a complete myth.
Yes. Tornadoes, regardless of strength, can go over water without being significantly affected. There have been at least 2 cases of F5 tornadoes crossing the Mississippi river.
A shovel is the best tool to dig ditches with.
The area of Castle Ditches is 97,124.5541376 square meters.
Yes they actually can. These water tornadoes are also known as watersprouts.
Tornadoes are not named. There are too many of them for any sort of naming system.
