It is difficult to say as many tornadoes have behaved in strange ways.
According to science archives and records, one of the most unusual tornadoes took place on October 3, 1979, in New England. While New England was no stranger to tornadoes, this particular one was incredibly strong and violent. Even local scientists and weather experts were baffled by the strength of the tornado, which spawned out of a strange weather pattern that launched a number of upper atmosphere disturbances. Based on reports, the F4 tornado traveled 11.3 miles and was 1,400 yards wide. It caused over $700 million dollars in damage, and 3 deaths. Over 500 people were injured as well.
Another unusual tornado occurred on April 4, 1981 in West Bend, Wisconsin, killing three people. Unlike 99.9% of tornadoes, this tornado was anticyclonic, which, in the northern hemisphere, means it rotated clockwise while most tornadoes rotate counterclockwise.Strangely, the part of the storm that spawned it was rotating counterclockwise. The tornado was not particularly large, nor did it last long, but still reached F4 intensity despite forming from a storm that did not look particularly strong on radar. To this day it remains the strongest anticyclonic tornado on record and the only one to have claimed lives

What is the most powerful type of tornado called?

What is the most destructive part of a tornado?
The most destructive part of a tornado is typically the vortex, which is the rotating column of air that extends from the base of the tornado to the ground. The strongest winds and most intense damage occur within this rotating column.
What are the five stages of a tornado in order at which stage is the tornado most destructive?
The five stages a tornado goes through are: The dust whirl stage, when the circulation first touches the ground The organizing stage, in which the tornado grows and intensifies The mature stage. when the tornado is at its largest and typically strongest The shrinking stage in which the tornado begins to lose strength The rope out stage in which the vortex decays and finally dissipates, often twisting and bending as it does so. Of these stages the mature stage is usually the most destructive.
Why do tornadoes look like spaghetti?
It is rather unusual for a tornado to look like spaghetti. If a tornado does take on such an appearance it most likely means the tornado is dissipating or "roping out." It is believed that this occurs when cold air chokes of the warm air that feeds the mesocyclone, the rotating updraft that drives the tornado. When this happens the tornado begins to shrink and weaken. Winds within the parent storm can somtimes cause a tornado at this stage to bend into unusual shapes.
Can a tornado ever travel due west?
It would be possible but unusual.
