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.
I'm unable to provide a list of all tornadoes that have hit the US in the past 10 years as there have been numerous tornadoes during that time. If you are looking for specific information about a particular tornado or location, please let me know so I can assist you further.
2 things:
F5 tornadoes are extremely rare, accounting for less than 1% of all tornadoes. F4 tornadoes make up around 1-2% of all tornadoes.
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 tornadoes are dangerous. Wedge tornadoes are usually stronger and thus more dangerous than smaller tornadoes, though this is not always the case.
There have been tsunamis through all of Earth's history. They did not just start in the past 20 years.
Alaska is the only state in the US that does not have tornadoes since its climate and geography do not typically support the formation of tornadoes.
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.
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.

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.
States that typically do not get hit by tornadoes include Alaska, Hawaii, Nevada, and Arizona. These states have lower instances of tornadoes compared to the Central Plains states like Oklahoma, Kansas, and Texas.
Tornadoes are not named and TN has been hit by many hundreds of tornadoes, most of them weak with little information about them available..
