tangare [24]

Answer:

The Movie Clip is scientifically incorrect.

Explanation:

Tornado is a violent rotating ( vortex) column of air which extends from the base of a thunderstorm  down to the earth.

Tornado are usually formed when flows from a point of high pressure to a point of low pressure.

Going by assuming the vortex happened in the Northern Hemisphere which is stated in the question,they are some lay down facts about that region of which include: Air flowing in a counter clockwise direction spin around the low points.

As shown in the clip Low pressure system in the Northern Hemisphere at the earth surface experiences air spiraling outward in a clockwise direction.Which deviate from our usual anti -clockwise direction.

Low pressure system in the Northern hemisphere at the surface experience air spiraling inward in an anti-clockwise direction. Thus, the movie clip is scientifically incorrect since that spaghetti tornado is spinning clockwise.
