Tornadoes generally don't have a spiral shape. But the winds in and near a tornado always move in a spiral pattern.
Idaho can have tornadoes. Tornadoes can happen anywhere in the United States. But tornadoes are more common in Tornado Alley.
Yes, South Dakota is part of a region called Tornado alley, which gets more tornadoes than anywhere else in the world. Even outside Tornado Alley tornadoes have been recorded in all 50 states.
Yes, Brett Favre does throw the tight spiral.
Hurricanes tend to be deadlier than tornadoes for two main reasons. First, hurricanes are huge compared with tornadoes. This means they affect larger areas and so have more opportunity to kill. Also, while tornadoes are chiefly wind events hurricanes produce both intense wind and major flooding. 90% of all hurricane deaths are drownings.
Tornadoes are often called twisters.
vortex- a spiral or whirl
Tornadoes take on a spiral shape because the winds in them spin and move upward. This is because tornadoes originate from the rotating updraft of a supercell thunderstorm. The updraft gets this rotation from wind shear.
They spiral upward because they cannot hit the ground otherwise they would slow down to a point that it would stop quickly.
First of all, it's a spiral galaxy, not an spiral galaxy. Second, a spiral galaxy would have a spiral shape, obviously.
Tornadoes produce very fast winds, but they do not necessarily move quickly. Some tornadoes may move at over 60 mph, while others barely move at all.
Approximately 60% of all galaxies are spiral
The air in and near a tornado generally follows a spiral path as it moves inward and upward around the tornado's center of rotation. In some tornadoes, however, it is more complicated than this as there may be smaller subvortices embedded in the main vortex. The tornado itself usually moves in a fairly straight line.
A spiral movement of air or water is called a vortex. It is a swirling mass that forms when the fluid flows in a circular motion around a central point. Vortices can be seen in phenomena such as whirlpools, tornadoes, and hurricanes.
Tornadoes themselves cannot be seen from space because they are blocked from above by the thunderstorms that produce them. The link below shows a storm satellite of a storm system that was producing tornadoes at the time the picture was taken. The tornadoes themselves formed under the storms that are seen as the right-hand branch of the spiral-shaped system. Again, what you are seeing is the storm that produced the tornadoes, not the tornadoes themselves. At this resolution individual tornadoes would be too small to see anyway.

All 50 states get tornadoes though they are rare in many of the states.
