   Most tornados are right handed, but some are sinister. Most anti cyclonic vortices are paired with a cyclonic vortex.

   If you have multiple tornados in a line they would need to alternate to be that close together.

   Long and short of it is that a "sinister tornado" is one that is spinning backwards.

     @WmShakesp3are @futurebird Yes, I am a sinister person myself. Unlike many of my age, my parents did not force me to switch to my right hand.

     @futurebird the word “sinister” is etymologically derived from “left” if I remember my semantics correctly.
