Editing Multiple-vortex tornado (section)

==General==
Suction vortices, also known as suction spots, are substructures found in many tornadoes, though they are not always easily visible. These vortices typically occur at the base of the tornado, where it makes contact with the ground. Sub-vortices tend to form after vortex breakdown reaches the surface, resulting from the interaction of cyclonically incoming and rising air. Although multi-vortex structures are common in tornadoes, they are not unique to them and can occur in other circulations, such as dust devils. This is a natural result of vortex dynamics in physics. Multi-vortex tornadoes should not be confused with cyclically tornadic [[supercells]]. Supercells are large, rotating thunderstorms that can produce multiple, distinct tornadoes, often referred to as [[tornado families]]. These tornadoes may form at different times or exist simultaneously but are separate from one another.

A phenomenon similar to multiple vortices is the [[satellite tornado]]. Unlike the multiple-vortex tornado, where smaller vortices form inside the main tornado, a satellite tornado develops outside the main tornado's circulation. It forms through a different mechanism, typically as a result of interactions with the parent storm's environment. Despite appearing close to the primary tornado, satellite tornadoes are independent and can have their own rotation.<ref name="auto"/>

In rare instances, multi-vortex tornadoes may display their strength through the uncommon method of "horizontal vorticies" which involves tornadoes appearing to "bend" the multiple vorticies included inside of the tornado, resulting in a tornado appearing to have thin lines stretching out of them. A particularly famous example of horizontal vorticies is the [[2011 Tuscaloosa–Birmingham tornado|2011 Tuscaloosa EF4.]]
