Spinning out of control? Is there another type of tornado that spins in a controlled fashion?

How is a tornado "out of control?" Didn't know we can control them.

[justdoingitjim]

"as the tornado spins "out of control." As opposed to what, "spinning in control?" Really CBS?

Days like this I thank my fortune. That Twister was 6 miles away from where we live

I was at a plant sale in east Lincoln, NE this afternoon. There was a large storm cell looming in western Lincoln that we were keeping an eye on, until two tornadoes came from out of nowhere on the EAST side of the city. A third touched down shortly after. This was all less than 3 miles from the plant sale. Luckily we were able to safely shelter in place thanks to the quick thinking of the event staff.

Ten years ago, Pilger NE famously got hit by twin tornadoes. At the time, I was living in Wayne, which is less than 20 miles from Pilger. So I have some experience with these things haha

Tornado season is currently active right now and it won’t be over until mid summer.

First time I've watched a "large" TV news channel in years. The artifical, nonstop fearmongering is incredibly obvious.

My heart goes out to those poor people that had their house damaged or obliterated. I hope they will consider trying to save as much used materials as there is because I fear there’s going to be a material shortage with all these global climate change events.

What an absurd description "tornado spun out of control."😅

[arthurmartin]

This makes me slightly relieved I have until noon tomorrow to prepare for electrical storms

Welcome to tornado season in tornado alley. Like it's something new.

South side of Lincoln was relatively untouched, but I’m just thankful that family and friends out by the Lincoln Airport, Waverly, and even at work in Omaha got through it unscathed!

I just pray for those who were affected and that no lives are lost as a result.

I hope you guys are fine ❤, please take care

Iowa was hit as well. I grew up there and a tornado tore through a few miles from my parents' house. The town of Minden was destroyed. My literal worst nightmare.

Prayers for everyone involved with the tornados

Great report Omar, Severe weather conditions including TX, OK and AL with torni, hail, storms.
Massive storms near Waco TX are to remain throughout the weekend.

I live in Texas and it was a nice day. Maybe the news should be more specific about which side of Texas. It's only 900 miles across....snow on one side and heat on the other side.

0:18 ‘… twister spins out of control”. Um, no. It’s under perfect control of the laws of physics.
