===Outbreaks and families=== {{Main|Tornado family|tornado outbreak|tornado outbreak sequence}} Occasionally, a single storm will produce more than one tornado, either simultaneously or in succession. Multiple tornadoes produced by the same [[storm cell]] are referred to as a "tornado family".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.srh.noaa.gov/oun/severewx/glossary4.php#t|title=A Comprehensive Glossary of Weather Terms for Storm Spotters|access-date=2007-02-27|first=Michael|last=Branick|year=2006|publisher=National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030803230231/http://www.srh.noaa.gov/oun/severewx/glossary4.php#t |archive-date=2003-08-03}}</ref> Several tornadoes are sometimes spawned from the same large-scale storm system. If there is no break in activity, this is considered a tornado outbreak (although the term "tornado outbreak" has various definitions). A period of several successive days with tornado outbreaks in the same general area (spawned by multiple weather systems) is a tornado outbreak sequence, occasionally called an extended tornado outbreak.<ref name="Glossary of Meteorology"/><ref name="significant tornadoes"/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://ams.confex.com/ams/pdfpapers/81933.pdf |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20221009/http://ams.confex.com/ams/pdfpapers/81933.pdf |archive-date=2022-10-09 |url-status=live|title=Tornado Outbreak Day Sequences: Historic Events and Climatology (1875β2003)|access-date=2007-03-20|first1=Russell S. |last1=Schneider |first2=Harold E. |last2=Brooks |first3=Joseph T. |last3=Schaefer |name-list-style=amp |year=2004}}</ref>
