A cyclone is any rotating wind storm, clockwise or anticlockwise, Northern hemisphere usually anticlockwise Southern usually clockwise. If it's anticyclonic that would mean it's not rotating so by definition it's impossible to have a anticyclonic tornado.
@waitpu4 That because you misunderstand the term. Cyclonic rotation refers to the typical direction of rotation in relation to its proximity to a magnetic pole of Earth, not if it spins or not.
@JasondeLEpee the base definition of cyclone is any rotating wind storm that's it, in meteorological terms only refers to it's usual direction of rotation compared to it's polar position because it's not spinning in it's usual direction does not define it as anticyclonic.
Wikipedia: "An anticyclonic tornado is a tornado which rotates in a clockwise direction in the Northern Hemisphere and a counterclockwise direction in the Southern Hemisphere."
Don't believe me? Look it up for yourself: anticyclonic tornado.
@waitpu4 Anticyclonic can also refer to a weather phenomenon--anticyclone--that occurs around a high pressure zone in the atmosphere, where the winds around the zone rotate clockwise. The resulting weather this brings about is clear skies and dry weather.
Like it says in the video an anticyclonic tornado spins clockwise in the northern hemisphere. The vast majority of tornadoes in the northern hemisphere, more than 99%, rotate counterclockwise.
This is one of the few videos taped off a tv that still totally rocks. At least ya set the camera down and did it right. Although I have seen this before, man it never hurts to see again. The power is amazing, I mean if you were right there in front of that thing, and it didn't drive a 2x4 thru your heart, you certainly would need a change of pants.
Thanks for uploading, I had to watch that about 5 times over to fully catch the gravity of the situation . Hope all the bacon wasn't hurt :).
The tornado that hit the pig farm (half of the 'animal hanger') was cyclonic. The one that hit the airplane hanger (the other half of 'animal hanger') was anticyclonic. Your title is confusing and inaccurate, so both you AND blackdark are correct.
First tornado is cyclonic (if its in the northern hemisphere) you can tell as it is swirling counter-clockwise (look at the debris) the others seem to be anticyclonic though (spinning clockwise)
Blackdark, in what way does calling a person a retard provide valuable commentary? Name-calling is juvenile behavior and a prime reason why many YouTube threads are lowbrow in quality.
That being said, you're partially right: the first part of the video shows the usual cyclonic circulation. However, the rest of the clip shows a different tornado that is indeed rotating anticyclonically.
That's some fascinating footage. Thanks for sharing it, ShamRock.
Well thank you very much for your comment, and im glad you enjoyed the clip,
and also thank you for bringing some class, manners and thoughtfulness to the comments on this video, it 'almost ' makes me feel bad about replying so honestly to "blackdark" like im about to do. thank you,
Actually Fuck-Face its Anti Cyclonic, like I said, and if you want to be nasty/pissed at someone you should really direct it at your mother! being that if she was as good as your girl friend at givin' head or even half as good as your sister, I would have been able to cum' alot faster and then would have been able to pay attention to the beginning of the clip I was uploading, and could have been more accurate for ball-busting shit-heads like you, But she was slow, so I only cought the 2nd part,
So, I see cyclonic AND anticyclonic rotation in this video. It's great to see the comparison.

The debris cloud was shaped a lot like a land spout, which makes me wonder if that's how this particular storm started.

Strange, I wonder what makes the difference as to whether a tornado will be cyclonic or anti-cyclonic?
