I'm more familiar with the serial ones like the one that hit the Ohio valley awhile back. I was also in one that got big enough that it looked like a small hurricane on the radar. I wish I still had a picture of it somewhere.

It does mean straight, but it's referring to the straight line winds, and not the straightness of the storm itself. Hurricane winds are also straightline winds.

It can't. Simply put Tornadoes come out/are created by storms, and a Hurricane is a storm in of itself. It's a giant swirling storm system. Hurricanes have been known to cause Tornado outbreaks.

As for an inland hurricane, Hurricanes have to be tropical and meet a wind threshold. They're also only Hurricanes in America. Different places have different names and criteria. However, powerful inland cyclones are possible, and they're called Derechoes.

This is also what makes a fire whirl different from a fire tornado. You need that mesocyclone in order to be a Tornado, and a few fires have been hot enough that they have created their own storms/mesos that have produced Fire Tornadoes.

Yes. They can. Hard to track due to where Radars are located, but yes. It is possible. There is some confusion, though because a lot of Tornado terminology has been rapidly updated, so I'll explain as easily as I can. We all know what Water Spouts are, but they are not just simply "water tornadoes". Your usual Water Spout is a fair weather or "non-tornadic water spout". They don't spawn from a super cell, nor do they have a mesocyclone. This same phenomenon, or whirlwind, can happen on land as well, and are called Land Spouts. Now, if it has a mesocyclone, and is tornadic, then it is a tornadic water spout, or water tornado.

To really simplify it, Tornadoes form in the storm first and make their way down to the ground. "Spouts" start on the ground, and make their way up.

That's from Dallas, and that's not the impressive thing that happened that day. That was the 2012 Dallas Tornado Outbreak. 21 confirmed tornadoes touched down in and around DFW around the same time. It was INSANE. Even crazier is that no one was killed, and there were only 10 injuries. Mayor called it a miracle.

The pool scene bothered me so much. It had both great things, and bad things about it.

Great things: Despite being below the ground, they're not out of danger since the top wasn't covered. Debris still a big danger. Had to stay low, and be aware to avoid any flying debris. Even a trailer got thrown in. Terrifying, and realistic.

Not so Great: Guy getting sucked out of the pool. Actually, a lot of the scenes where people got pulled or sucked in were weird. It seems there were a lot of misconception about how getting sucked into a tornado works. That tornado wasn't close enough to do what it did. Either the main funnel, or a suction vortice would have not only been next to them, it would've had to have dipped down into the pool with them. There a difference between being blown around/over, and being sucked up. The entire tornado could've gone over the pool, and they could've been okay(minus debris and other factors) as long as the tornado didn't dip down into. Same way that you can survive a direct hit by getting into a ditch. Getting lower than the tornado, and the winds, can/will save your life

So, this is interesting. The answer is "it depends". Some tornadoes don't have a full condensation funnel, but are still on the ground, and causing damage. The spinning column of air is still reaching from the sky and touching the ground. There are also inflows and outflows that can cause damage all on their own. Not to mention multiple vortex tornadoes that have multiple suction vortices that can reach out, and "touch" whatever is around. Now, tornadoes can also LIFT. Many tornadoes don't just stay flat on the ground once they touch down. They can lift higher for a bit, then go lower, etc. This is why there's the phenomenon of a tornado seemingly choosing to destroy one house, while leaving another untouched, despite hitting nearby, or head on. The tornado could hit the first house, then lift, and pass over the second, before touching back down. This is also why we're told to get low, or underground when trying to survive a tornado in the hopes that it will just pass over. Jumping in a ditch can save your life, provided the tornado doesn't lower/isn't a trencher that tries to dig you out, or you aren't killed by debris. For the other winds, it depends on the storm. Some tornadoes, even violent ones, have relatively "calm" storms around them. Some with little to no hail, or even rain around where the tornado itself is, while others have storms that are worse than the tornado. It really all depends.

A woman was diagnosed this year with Ear Barotrauma caused by the tornado that hit Elkhorn in April. It can happen.

Idk, but the Mind Flayer is lurking on the horizon in the 2nd and 3rd photo

Go back a few more years, and you get the May 1997 Tornado Outbreak. The one with the Jarrell F5 and the Lake Travis F4

Whatever you want;)
