Tornado — one of the most devastating phenomena of Mother Nature, and they can appear in different shapes and sizes. Although each tornado is unique, there are similarities that allow you to categorize tornadoes according to the size, appearance and method of formation.

Rope tornado
The smallest and most common type of tornado. Their name they owe to the form, which resembles a rope. Despite its small size, rope tornadoes can still be dangerous for those who will meet on their way. "While a rope tornado look weaker than large, some become more intense when constrict and contract," — said the prediction Center NOAA's storm (USA).

Cone-shaped tornado
Such a tornado also was named due to its shape. They are already where you touch the ground, and wider where connected with the storm. They are more dangerous than rope a tornado, so as to leave a wider trail of damage.
Columnar tornado like cone-shaped, but their width does not change from earth to heaven.

Wedge tornado
The largest and most destructive tornado in history generally categorized as a wedge tornado. Wedge tornadoes can appear wider and can leave behind a huge trail of destruction. The width of the wedge-shaped tornado can be 800 meters or more. Wedge tornadoes are usually assigned a category EF-3 and above.
The most destructive tornado in history was the wedge tornado, including the tornado of El Reno, which was held in Oklahoma on may 31, 2013. It was the widest tornado in history — its diameter reached 4 km away.

Mnogovolnovye and satellite tornadoes
Some supercheesy thunderstorms produced several tornadoes at a time. Mnogofotonnykh tornado is at least two and more. Usually mnogovolnovye tornado is a small rope tornado, rotating around a single crater. But in extreme cases, the storm produced two tornadoes, which spin independently of each other. When this happens, the second tornado is called a satellite. They are extremely rare and caused enormous damage.

Water and ground vortices
They look like tornadoes, but can be formed when there are thunderstorms. They are weaker than most tornadoes, but can overturn boats and create strong waves. A ground vortex is similar to water, is usually very weak and there are only a few minutes. However, they can be strong enough to cause damage equivalent to a tornado of EF-0.
