The direction of water down a plug hole and tornadoes?

Question

When you let water drain down a plug hole it always rotates, with the rotation getting faster and faster. This is nothing to do with the spin of the Earth around its axis.

A simillar unexplained effect is seen with Tornadoes.

Question 1, are the two effects related and if so by examining water down a plug hole can we better understand Tornadoes?

I suspect that the effects are the same and that it is to do with the electrical charge being built up on the water molucules. It has been well known for long time that water is attracted to an electrical charge.

Maybe a Tornadoe is caused by all the moisture in the rising air rotating in the same way a water does down a plug hole.

I do think that is is due to a electromagnetic effect of either the air or the moisture in the air.

Question 2, would an Electro-Magnetic Pulse bomb destroy a Tornado? I think it might.

Answer 1

no

Answer 2

Q1 - people seem to disagree about the effect of earth's rotation on water going down the plug hole. Those who have travelled to the equator and conducted a simple experiment, can confirm that water DOES spin in different direction depending on which side you're on, and that it goes straight down when directly over the equator.

It's the same for tornadoes and hurricanes - Coriolis Effect.

Q" - no idea.

Answer 3

Tornadoes in supercells are formed with the interaction of the down drafts and updrafts interacting with each other. After a while the whole storm starts  to rotate. This is called a mesocyclone.  As per the E.M. wave disrupting a tornado... well the only thing I know that causes an E.M. wave that large is a nuclear bomb and I have never heard of any study on E.M. waves and Meteorology other than under the subjects of RADAR theory so id say no.

Answer 4

Notice when they have a snow storm in North Dakota and Texas has record hot weather.  Oklahoma has tornados.

It is the mix of the southern breeze blowing North into the freezeing jet stream coming down.

Another time we had a perfect storm was snow in Colorado and the wind and wheather moves East so you have 3 moving centers of different temperatures of air moving together and getting in the mix.  Worse tornado season on record.
