In edit mode of Google Earth you could take one point of one line segment (path) and extend it to the intersect with other line such that the two lines appear to be a single line. However, there is no automatic way to merge the two lines into a single feature.


To merge two paths into a single Placemark you need to manually edit the raw KML and move/copy the coordinates of one into the element of the other line.


Here's an example with a KML file having two line paths which need to be merged.


OLD KML:



east

-122.431885303019,37.8019316061803

-122.431762847554,37.8019476932246

-122.431719843168,37.8017374462006


west

-122.431719843168,37.8017374462006

-122.431841863906,37.8017213314352

-122.431885303019,37.8019316061803


The merged KML would look like this


east-west

-122.431885303019,37.8019316061803

-122.431762847554,37.8019476932246

-122.431719843168,37.8017374462006

-122.431719843168,37.8017374462006

-122.431841863906,37.8017213314352

-122.431885303019,37.8019316061803


Note when you manually paste the coordinates it's hard to debug and identify which points on the map are in which order in the list. To help debug editing the points a free online is available to generate numbers corresponding to the order of the point in the list. Click on related link below and paste your KML into the form.

How do you find a tornado in Google Earth?

While it's possible to photograph a tornado don't think one has been captured in Google Earth satellite or aerial imagery. What you can see is the near real-time weather overlays for an area during a tornado. There are historical paths of tornadoes that can be seen in Google Earth.What is more readily available is imagery showing the aftermath of a tornado. On May 4th 2007 the town of Greensburg, Kansas was devastated by a tornado and most of the town was destroyed. Shortly after the devastation, one of Google's satellite providers, DigitalGlobe, jumped into action and gathered imagery of the region for search-and-rescue teams and made it available to Google Earth.
