Image Palmsundaytwintornadoes.jpg thumbnail right Twin tornadoes of the Goshen, Indiana tornado family during the Palm Sunday tornado outbreak of 1965 Palm Sunday Tornado Outbreak of April 11, 1965 Often mistaken for single long track tornadoes, a tornado family is a series of tornado es which occur along a similar path. Spawned by the same supercell , these families can cover a short span or a vast distance. Sometimes evidenced by breaks in the damage path, expert analysis is necessary to determine whether or not damage was created by a family or a single tornado. In some cases, different tornadoes of a tornado family merge, making discerning whether an event was continuous or not even more difficult. Some tornado damage remains a mystery even today due to a lack of evidence. The Tri State Tornado was one such tornado. It could either have been the longest single tornado recorded, or a family of tornadoes.

They are so named because the final chart appears to be one half of a tornado. Tornado diagrams are useful for sensitivity analysis comparing the relative importance of variables. The sensitive variable is modeled as uncertain value while all other variables are held at baseline values stable . Reference source PMBOK Guide Fourth Edition pg. 298 2005 pg. 257 .
