If a tornado is coming, do not call anyone. Take cover immediately.
After a tornado passes you may call the National Weather Service to report that a tornado is in the area. If people are seriously injured or trapped, call 911.
It is recommended to seek shelter in the basement during a tornado. If you are specifically referring to taking cover in the basement during a tornado, it can be simply called a tornado shelter.
A tornado that spins in the opposite direction is known as an anticyclonic tornado. These tornadoes are rare and rotate clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.
A tornado case study is an in-depth analysis of a specific tornado event, including its characteristics, impacts, and aftermath. These studies are typically used to understand the behavior and effects of tornadoes, improve warning systems, and enhance emergency response strategies. Researchers may examine factors such as the tornado's path, intensity, duration, and damage patterns to draw insights and lessons for future tornado events.
Only to a very limited degree. Scientists can determine when conditions are favorable for tornadoes to develop (in which case a tornado watch is issued), or even if a tornado may be developing (which would prompt a tornado warning), but cannot predict exactly where or when a tornado will touch down.
That varies. If you are close enough to be in the area of the tornado's inflow then the wind will blow almost directly towards the tornado, perhaps a little to the right of that direction. In that case the wind direction will depend on where the tornado is relative to you. If you are beyond the inflow area for the tornado, then nothing about the wind direction would indicate the approaching tornado.
it depends on the tornado damage
A tornado on water is called a waterspout.
A tornado that does not touch the ground is a funnel cloud.

It is impossible to say. Tornadoes have been occurring in the region we call "Tornado Alley" since before people were there to report them.
