Does lightning strike in a tornado?

How skinny can a tornado be at the ground?

Are the majority of tornadoes in the us classified as F5?
No, the majority of tornadoes in the US are not classified as F5. F5 tornadoes are extremely rare and account for only a small percentage of all tornadoes. Most tornadoes in the US are classified as weaker tornadoes, such as F0 to F2.
Does humidity cause tornadoes?
Humidity itself does not cause tornadoes. Tornadoes form from the interaction of different air masses with varying temperature, humidity, and wind conditions. High humidity levels can contribute to the instability needed for severe thunderstorms that can produce tornadoes under the right atmospheric conditions.
What is the diffreence between thin and fat tornadoes?

How many tornadoes can strike at the same place at the same time?
Well, up to 100 tornadoes, can strike a large region not at the minute, but in a day or 2. It would be unusual for more than two tornadoes to strike an area as small as a city within a day end even more if they were simultaneous. Tornadoes are usually not very stable in close proximity to one another and will tend to merge together.
