Tornadoes taking highly deviant turns is not really that unusual, even with large and violent tornadoes. That’s the inspiration behind this video, where I recount our storm chase of the infamous El Reno tornado in 2013 and also talk about how, at least when it comes to the track, it was a perfectly normal type of weird tornado track.

In particular, left turns by tornadoes towards the end of their life cycles are something that should be anticipated. But some of the tracks we talk about briefly include tornadoes doing a near-perfect loop, and making seemingly random nearly 90-degree turns. It’s going to get funky, let’s dive in.
