= Multiple-vortex tornado
{wiki=Multiple-vortex_tornado}
A multiple-vortex tornado is a type of tornado that contains smaller rotating columns of air, or vortices, around its main channel of rotation. These vortices can form within the larger tornado and create a complex structure, with multiple areas of intense rotation occurring simultaneously. Multiple-vortex tornadoes can lead to increased damage potential because the smaller vortices may touch down in different locations around the tornado's core, causing destruction over a wider area compared to a single-vortex tornado.
