Quick Answer. Tornadoes can last from a few seconds to over an hour, although most last less than 10 minutes. They form from mesocyclones, which are areas of organized rotation within supercell thunderstorms. Scientists still don't know why some mesocyclones become tornadoes and some do not.
Most of the deadly and damaging tornadoes occur in groups of outbreaks that often last from 6 to 12 hours. One of the worst such outbreak in Minnesota occurred on June 28, 1979, when 16 tornadoes slashed across the state, from northwest to southeast, in a six and one half hour period.
