Do the winds turn north south east are west in a tornado?

The fact that the a tornado spins means that the winds move in all directions at different points within the tornado, as they make a full 360 degree rotation. In the northern hemisphere tornadoes spin counterclockwise, so winds on the north side of a tornado blow east to west, those on the west side blow north to south, those on the south side blow west to east, and those on the east side blow south to north. This is reversed in the southern hemisphere where tornadoes spin clockwise.


What way does the tornado wind blow?

The winds in a tornado spin, so the wind itself can come from any direction. Except for rare cases, tornadoes in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise while those in the southern hemisphere spin clockwise.


How many times can a tornado spin in just 1 minute?

That is highly variable and there is no single answer. A small but intense tornado can rotate 60 or more times in a minute. At the other end a very large tornado might not even complete a full rotation in a minute, at least on the outside. This if further complicated by the fact that a tornado usually spins faster near its center than at its edges.


In which direction does a tornado spin in the US?

The vast majority of tornadoes in the northern hemisphere, including the U.S. spin counterclockwise. However on rare occasions clockwise tornadoes are observed.

Why don't tornadoes cause the air inside a thunderstorm to spin?

The air inside a tornadic thunderstorm (a storm that produces a tornado) does spin. But it is that spinning air that causes the tornado, rather than the tornado starting the air spinning.
