How many tornadoes were in the tri state tornado?

The Tri-State tornado itself is believed to have been a single tornado as the damage path appears to have been continuous. That monster of a storm was part of an outbreak that produced 9 known tornadoes. The actual number of tornadoes in the outbreak was probably much higher, however, as at the time there was no system of recording tornadoes.

How does a tri-state tornado form?

The tri-state tornado formed just the way most tornadoes form:First, a condition called wind shear, in which the speed or direction of the wind changes with altitude. If the shear is strong enough it can essentially tilt a thunderstorm, this separates the updraft and downdraft of the thunderstorm, preventing them from interfering with one another. This allows the storm to become stronger and last longer.Additionally, if the wind shear is strong enough it can start the air rolling in what is called horizontal vorticity. This horizontal vorticity can then be turned vertical by a thunderstorm's updraft. When this happens, the thunderstorm may start rotating. The rotation is especially strong in an updraft called a mesocyclone. If the storm intensifies rapidly enough, a relatively warm downdraft called a rear-flank downdraft or RFD can wrap around the bottom part of the mesocyclone. This can then tighten and intensify its rotation and bring it down to the ground to produce a tornado.
