Tornadoes are sometimes called twisters. When hurricanes occur in other parts of the world may be called typhoons, cyclones, or severe cyclonic storms. The generic term for a hurricane is tropical cyclone.
2 things:
There is no difference at all. In years past all hurricanes were named after women. Some women took offense to that so the national weather service started to alternate between boys names and girls names so no one would be offended.
All of the continents that existed 200 years ago are still in existence (though their current names may have changed from the past.) Geologically speaking, 200 years passes in a blink of an eye. It takes thousands of years for landmasses to undergo significant changes.
Ocean currents, hurricanes, and tornadoes all rotate. Tornadoes, are different from the other two, however in that their rotation is not directly due to the Coriolis Effect.
All the states have had floods and tornadoes. The inland states do not get hurricanes
All tornadoes are dangerous. Wedge tornadoes are usually stronger and thus more dangerous than smaller tornadoes, though this is not always the case.
All states have had tornadoes in the past 50 years.
First of all , tornadoes are not given official names, though some have informal names for where they hit. It would be impossible to list all of them because there have been tens of thousands of confirmed tornadoes in the United States just in the past few decades.
Every state has had at least a few tornadoes. Alaska, however, has only had four tornadoes in the past 60 years, all of them weak.
Tornadoes are not named, and hundreds of tornadoes affect the United States every year. It would be impossible to list them all.
not tornadoes do not have names they only get named by the place where they touch down
So far there have been no tornadoes recorded in Alaska in 2011. In the past 60 years the state has only has 3 recorded tornadoes. All rated F0.
Massachusetts has tornadoes almost every year, so it would be easier to list those that didn't have tornadoes for the state. Since 1950 the years 1950, 1952, 1959, 1980, 1982, 1987, 1988, 1993, 1994, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2003, 2009, and 2010 did not have tornadoes. All others for the past 62 years did have tornadoes in Massachusetts.
Tornadoes don't have names, hurricane do, though they are often referred to by the places they hit. Even then there are so many tornadoes that it would be impossible to list them. There have been tens of thousands of tornadoes.
First, tornadoes are not given official names, but are sometimes given informal names for where they occur. Second, there have been many thousands of tornadoes, and it would be impossible to list them all under any sort of logical naming system. The link below, however is to a database that has information on the more than 50,000 tornadoes that have occurred in the U.S. in the years 1950-2009. Tornadoes can be found based on date, location, and Fujita scale rating.
As will all years,the tornadoes of 1999 varied greatly in strength. Here is the breakdown of tornadoes in the U.S. by rating in 1999: F0: 830 F1: 323 F2: 122 F3: 51 F4: 12 F5: 1 The number of F3 and stronger tornadoes in 1999 was well above the average of the past 30 years.
Tornadoes are not named and TN has been hit by many hundreds of tornadoes, most of them weak with little information about them available..
There have been at least 6,717 confirmed tornadoes in the U.S. in the past 5 years. This number may actually be higher as the figures for April through June of 2011 are still preliminary. Statistics world wide are not available as many countries to not keep records of their tornadoes, but tornadoes, some of them deadly, have occurred in almost all parts of the world and on every continent except Antarctica.
