Tornado diagrams, also called tornado plots, tornado charts or butterfly charts, are a special type of Bar chart, where the data categories are listed vertically instead of the standard horizontal presentation, and the categories are ordered so that the largest bar appears at the top of the chart, the second largest appears second from the top, and so on.
A tornado is a violently rotating column of air in contact with the surface and a cumuliform cloud base. Tornado formation is caused by the stretching and aggregating/merging of environmental and/or storm-induced vorticity that tightens into an intense vortex. There are various ways this may come about and thus various forms and sub-forms of ...

To try to figure out how realistic the plot of Twisters actually is, TIME spoke with Michael Seger, the chief meteorologist for 2News Oklahoma KJRH, about tornado science, the likelihood of ...
Here are 10 different types of tornadoes that have been documented across North America. The smallest type of tornado can be short-lived, lasting just a few minutes, but that is not always the ...
These tornadoes may form at different times or exist simultaneously but are separate from one another. A phenomenon similar to multiple vortices is the satellite tornado. Unlike the multiple-vortex tornado, where smaller vortices form inside the main tornado, a satellite tornado develops outside the main tornado's circulation.
