Are isolated tornadoes bad?
All tornadoes are bad. Most isolated tornadoes are weak, rated F0 or F1 and rarely kill. A few isolated tornadoes have relieved ratings of F3 or highger, howver, which is a very strong tornado
What is an isolated tornado do to Texas?
An isolated tornado in Texas is little different from an isolated tornado anywhere else. An isolated tornado occurs with few or no other tornadoes in the region. Such tornadoes are usually, but not always, weak but are still dangerous. Like any other tornado, an isolated tornado will damage or destroyed trees and man-made structures in its path.
Can isolated Thunderstorms produce Tornadoes?
Yes. That a thunderstorm is isolated does not mean it is not strong enough to produce a tornado.
What does isolated tornadoes mean?
Isolated tornadoes are tornadoes that do not occur as part of a significant outbreak. A storm system with isolated tornadoes may produce a single tornado or a small number of tornadoes scattered across a large area.

Can an isolated tornado cause damage?
Yes. Although isolated tornadoes usually don't get very high intensity ratings, even the weakest category of tornado, EF0, can cause damage.
Should you be on the look out for an isolated tornado?
If there is potential for tornadoes in the forecast, yes. If you live in the United States you can check for the risk of tornadoes and other thunderstorm hazards by going to the website of the Storm Prediction Center.

Is April 27th 2014 the first high risk day with a 30 percent hatched tornado risk to not have a PDS tornado watch?
No. A PDS tornado watch has been issued for April 27, 2014.
Why are tornado watches issued in 5 percent tornado areas from the SPC?
A 5% risk area for tornadoes suggests an environment fairly favorable for tornado development, enough to warrant a slight risk outlook. Such conditions are sometimes favorable enough to warrant a tornado watch.
What does the 2 percent tornado probability from the spc typically mean?
A 2 percent tornado probability typically means that isolated and probably weak tornadoes are possible.
What does greatest tornado concern mean?
On a day when tornadoes are possible, some areas will be at greater risk than others of experiencing a tornado. The level or risk will also vary over the course of the day. Greatest tornado concern likely refers to the area and/or time where the chances of a tornado, and particularly a significant tornado, occurring are greatest.
