Fairly often actually. It is not uncommon for multiple supercells to produce tornadoes at the same time during an outbreak. Even more often several tornadoes form and dissipate in succession, though in most cases no two are on the ground at the same time.

Can more than one tornado happen at the same time in a different place?

Yes, this occurs sometimes during tornado outbreaks.


What happen if a lightning and tornado and earthquake happen in the same time?

Lightning frequently accompanies tornadoes anyway. On the unlikely even that a tornado occurred during an earthquake, there would probably be more damage than either of the two could do on their own.


What would happen if you exploded a powerful bomb in the center of a large tornado?

For a massive wedge tornado, anything short of a nuclear bomb would probably not do much. A nuclear bomb would probably disrupt it, but at the same time would cause far more damage than the tornado itself could.


Is a twister bigger than a tornado?

No, a twister and a tornado are terms that are often used interchangeably to refer to the same weather phenomenon. Both terms describe a rapidly rotating column of air that comes into contact with the ground.


Is it possible to make a tornado?

No. While tornadoes and lightning often occur at the same time a tornado cannot be made of lighting, nor are the two directly related. A tornado is a vortex of air; lighting is an electrical discharge.


What do they call more than one tornado?

It depends. More than one tornado produce by a cyclic supercell are called a tornado family. Six or more tornadoes produced by the same storm system is called a tornado outbreak. If one tornado forms next to, and circles another it is called a satellite tornado. Another possibility is what is called a multiple vortex tornado. This is a tornado that has several smaller, more intense suction vorticies moving around inside it, almost like mini-twisters. However, it is still considered one tornado even though it may have two or more funnels.


Is it possible to have 2 tornadoes at the same time?

There are different ways this can happen. Tornadoes often occur in outbreaks where several tornado producing thunderstorms can be active at the same time, as weather conditions are favorable for such storms to occur. What is happening in one storm does not necessarily affect another occurring at the same time, so there can be several tornadoes on the ground at once. These thunderstorms often produce tornadoes in succession in what is called a tornado family. In such cases a second tornado may form before the first one dissipates and the two can be seen together. Yet another phenomenon can occur when a large tornado spawns a smaller satellite tornado the circles it. In some cases the air movements inside a thunderstorm can become quite complex, and may produce several tornadoes at once rather than just one.Another phenomenon that can occur in some tornadoes, especially strong ones, is often mistaken for multiple tornadoes. Some tornadoes have multiple smaller vortices inside the main circulation. Under the right conditions this can lead to a single tornado having multiple funnels. This can make it look like one tornado is actually several.


What happen when tornado and lightning happen at the same time?

Tornadoes and lightning can occur simultaneously during severe thunderstorms. If a tornado and lightning occur at the same time, the combination can increase the potential dangers and risks associated with the storm. Lightning can strike the tornado itself or nearby, causing additional hazards like fires, property damage, and injuries.


How do you say Tornado in Polish?

Same as in English: "Tornado" :)


Can a tornado happen in Toronto?

Yes, tornadoes can occur in Toronto, although they are relatively rare. Toronto is in an area that is at risk for tornadoes, but they typically do not happen as frequently or with the same intensity as in other regions, such as the central United States.


What is a group of tornadoes?

A group of tornadoes produced by the same storm system withing a day or so is called a tornado outbreak. A series of tornadoes produced in succession by the same supercell is called a tornado family.


Is tornado alley located in the same place every year?

Yes. It is located in the middle of the united states (Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas etc) due to a favorable climate setup. Tornado Alley does not move, but major tornado outbreak can happen in other regions.
