What is an isolated tornado?

An isolated tornado is a tornado that occurs without being associated with a larger storm system or line of thunderstorms. These tornadoes can sometimes form in areas where there is minimal atmospheric instability or wind shear, making them relatively rare compared to tornadoes that form within larger storm systems. Isolated tornadoes can still be destructive and dangerous, causing damage to property and posing a threat to human life. It is important for people in areas prone to tornadoes to have a plan in place and be prepared to take quick action in the event of a tornado warning.
