This tornado dropped down in the field nearby - so close. It was awesome to watch as this F0 gracefully moves parallel to the road. Although in Texas, this was turning the wrong way - rotating clockwise!

  • In the southern hemisphere

    tornadoes and stuff like that turn clockwise, here in the northern hemisphere they turn counterclockwise, it has to do with the Coriolis effect.

    • Tornado in Texas

      That tornado was filmed in Texas and is what we call an anti-cyclonic tornado. So even though it was turning clockwise, it was still in the northern hemisphere but was turning 'the wrong way' which a few do anyway. They are just anti-cyclonic. Inside the rain in the distance there was the cyclonic tornado on the ground at the same time.
