There are different ways this can happen. Tornadoes often occur in outbreaks where several tornado producing thunderstorms can be active at the same time, as weather conditions are favorable for such storms to occur. What is happening in one storm does not necessarily affect another occurring at the same time, so there can be several tornadoes on the ground at once. These thunderstorms often produce tornadoes in succession in what is called a tornado family. In such cases a second tornado may form before the first one dissipates and the two can be seen together. Yet another phenomenon can occur when a large tornado spawns a smaller satellite tornado the circles it. In some cases the air movements inside a thunderstorm can become quite complex, and may produce several tornadoes at once rather than just one.
Another phenomenon that can occur in some tornadoes, especially strong ones, is often mistaken for multiple tornadoes. Some tornadoes have multiple smaller vortices inside the main circulation. Under the right conditions this can lead to a single tornado having multiple funnels. This can make it look like one tornado is actually several.

∙ 11y agoYes, and more than that. In one famous video a storm chaser caught video of six tornadoes an the ground at the same time. Other outbreaks may have had more on the ground at the same time, but not as close together.

∙ 12y agoTornadoes do not form other tornadoes, they form on there own from specific weather conditions that have the proper tendencies to produce one or more tornadoes.

How many tornadoes hit new york in 2008?
There were 2 tornadoes in New York in 2008.
Did Texas have tornadoes or hurricanes in 2008?
Yes. Texas had 2 hurricanes (Dolly and Ike) and 120 tornadoes in 2008.
What happen when 2 F5 tornadoes collide?
When two tornadoes meet, regardless of intensity, they will merge to form one tornado.
How many tornadoes have happened in MA?
Since records began in 1950 there have been 157 confirmed tornadoes in Massachusetts. However, in the early part of this period many of the weaker tornadoes were missed, so the actual number of tornadoes is probably significantly higher.
How many tornadoes hit Miami Florida each year?
Tornadoes do not occur in Miami every year. Since 1950 Miami has had 27 tornadoes, which suggests an average of a little less than 1 tornado every 2 years.
Can 2 F1 tornadoes at once at the same time same place possibly make like an F2 or bigger in total?
It is entirely possible for two F1 tornadoes to merger. The resulting merged tornado would be larger than either of the original two tornadoes, but not necessarily stronger.
Can 2 F5 tornadoes at the same time same place possibly make a big huge large tornado?
It is unlikely that two tornadoes could maintain such high intensity so close to each other.
How many tornadoes can strike at the same place at the same time?
Well, up to 100 tornadoes, can strike a large region not at the minute, but in a day or 2. It would be unusual for more than two tornadoes to strike an area as small as a city within a day end even more if they were simultaneous. Tornadoes are usually not very stable in close proximity to one another and will tend to merge together.
Were there any people killed in any tornadoes in 2011 or 2012?
Yes, Tornadoes kill dozens of people every year. In the U.S. alone tornadoes killed 553 people in 2011 (making it the 2nd deadliest year on record for the U.S.), and 70 in 2012. Elsewhere in the world tornadoes killed about 2 dozen people in the same time period.
Is it possible to wield 3 guns at the same time?
Not really. Very few people can use 2 at the same time with any degree of accuracy.
2 tornadoes on the same day in tornado alley?
Yes. It is quite common for more than two tornadoes to occur. An outbreak could easily produce several dozen tornadoes in a day.
Is it possible to be a actor singer and doctor at one time?
Well, it is possible to do two careers at the same time. I used to be friends with a singer. He was a doctor. But he died 2 years ago.
Do tornadoes always kill people?
No. Tornadoes are very powerful storms, and while it's possible for a tornado to kill people, it is not inevitable. Many tornadoes kill no one at all. In fact, only about 2% of tornadoes are killers. However, the tornadoes that make the news and get the headlines are the ones in which people ARE killed and injured. The prime adage of the news editor is "If it bleeds, it leads!"
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 happens if 2 tornadoes collide?
If 2 tornadoes collide they will merge into one tornado.
How often do tornadoes hit Sacramento?
That is difficult to determine. Six tornadoes have been recorded in Sacramento since records began in 1950, but all but one of those occurred after the year 2000 and 2 were on the same day and were probably from the same storm system. This gives us a figure of a tornado hitting about once every three years, though it is quite possible that the past few years were a fluke.
How would you find the total number of possible outcomes of 2 independent events occurring at the same time?
They are the product of the number of possible outcomes for each of the component events.
