Tornado Myths Cont...

In a tornado, the storm might hit one house and then skip over other houses. It is true that a house that is in between two destroyed homes can be "untouched", but this is not the result of a tornado "skipping" as was previously thought (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tornado_myths). After the Super Outbreak, Dr. Fujita studied many films of tornadoes from that day (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tornado_myths). Included in his review was damage and tornado film footage of F4 and F5 tornadoes. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tornado_myths). Fujita concluded that the multiple vortices of an F-4 or F-5, which are highly volatile but small vortices that dance around the main funnel, are responsible for making tornadoes appear to "skip houses" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tornado_myths).
