There is no possible way to prove this, but what you're referencing is called chaos theory. The idea is that small, seemingly meaningless things happen and cause larger events - like hurricanes and tornadoes.

If the butterfly hadn't flapped its wings, would there have been a tornado? There's no way to know because (a) we don't have time travel and (b) the flap of a butterfly's wings are hard to measure... there are lots of butterflies.

A lot of things have to go "right" in order for anything to happen, but I don't think a butterfly alone could have caused a tornado.
