Tornadoes can form in mountainous terrain.

INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that tornadoes can form in mountainous terrain?

Unclear. One modeling study suggests mountain slopes and valleys can increase tornado potential in quasi-linear convective systems, and a general reference notes tornadoes can occur almost anywhere under the right conditions, but neither directly documents tornadoes forming in mountainous terrain.
