A tornado is itself a natural disaster and is generally a result of other phenomena rather than a cause. Some large tornadoes have been known to spawn a second, smaller tornado called a satellite tornado nearby.

Tornadoes do not often cause other types of disaster, though they can spawn other tornadoes. When tornadoes destroy houses they can rupture gas lines and start fires and debris in the streets may keep firefighters from reaching them. If medical facilities are damaged or overwhelmed there can be outbreaks of diseases, as is the case fore other disasters.
