Most tornadoes move southwest to northeast, but this is not always the case. Some have been known to travel in the exact opposite direction.

∙ 13y agoTornadoes typically travel from southwest to northeast in the Northern Hemisphere and from northwest to southeast in the Southern Hemisphere. However, their exact path and direction can vary depending on various atmospheric conditions such as wind speeds and directions.
Tornadoes typically travel from southwest to northeast in the United States, but they can move in any direction depending on the specific weather patterns present.
Tornadoes can move in any direction, but on average they travel from southwest to northeast in the United States. The specific path a tornado takes is influenced by various factors such as wind patterns, topography, and storm dynamics.
Many tornadoes can range from travel, some barley a few feet or yards, some up to 20 miles or more, depending on the tornado. The longest distance a tornado has ever been known to travel was 219 miles.
Tornadoes do not usually travel in a straight line. They can change direction and speed rapidly, making them unpredictable and dangerous. Tornado paths are often characterized by erratic and twisting movements as they move across the landscape.
An individual tornado cannot change the direction that it rotates, however in rare cases a tornado may rotate in the opposite direction from what is norm (nearly all tornadoes rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere, and clockwise in the southern).

That depends on where you are relative to the tornado. Most tornadoes travel in an easterly direction, so if you are watichng a tornado and are south of it, it will move to your right, and if you are north of it, it will move to your left.
A tornado can move in any direction, but the most common direction of travel is southwest to northeast. Southeast-moving tornadoes are not uncommon.
Not really, though their existence is the main reason that most tornadoes travel in a westward direction.
No, tornadoes can move in any direction, although the majority do tend to travel from the southwest to the northeast in the United States. The specific direction a tornado moves depends on the larger weather system it is associated with.
That varies. If you are close enough to be in the area of the tornado's inflow then the wind will blow almost directly towards the tornado, perhaps a little to the right of that direction. In that case the wind direction will depend on where the tornado is relative to you. If you are beyond the inflow area for the tornado, then nothing about the wind direction would indicate the approaching tornado.
The speed and direction of a tornado can be determined using Doppler radar by measuring how far the tornado moves between sweeps and in what direction.
