Not really. While it is not uncommon for a hurricane to produce tornadoes, most tornadoes are the product of mid-latitude storm systems that have nothing to do with hurricanes.

What are the chances of survival of tornadoes and hurricanes?
When a tornado or hurricane hits, there are usually more survivors than fatalities. It is a rare storm that kills a few dozen or more people, even though they can affect thousands. Statistics show that from 1977 through 2006, an average of 57 were killed each year by tornadoes, and an average of 48 were killed each year by hurricanes. Consider that the worst tornado of the past 20 years killed 36 people, a high number for one storm, but advanced warnings saved an estimated 600 lives.
Has there ever been 2 landfalling hurricanes on the same day?
In the same place: no. It would be impossible for two hurricanes - storms hundreds of miles in diameter - to get so close to each other.
What causes the most deaths each year hurricanes tornadoes or lighting strikes?
i assume hurricanes cause more deaths since I know for a fact that more people die of lightening strikes than shark attacks and there aren't very many of them. Sorry if this doesn't help. try searching 'natural disasters'. NRBB
What are the average number of major hurricanes?
Each year the Atlantic Ocean has an average of 2 major hurricanes.
Can 2 F5 tornadoes at the same time same place possibly make a big huge large tornado?
It is unlikely that two tornadoes could maintain such high intensity so close to each other.
How are tornadoes related to thunderstorms and hurricanes?
They are all type of storm and can all produce strong winds. Hurricanes and tornadoes have more in common with each other, though, than they do with ordinary thunderstorms. For example, both have eyes, or eyelike structure (in a tornado it is called a weak echo region.) They also both rotate, which is something most thunderstorms don't do. All tornadoes are produced by thunderstorms, some of these storms are produced by hurricanes.
Do hurricanes or tornadoes cause more damage in the US each year?
hurricanes cause more damage they can also cause earthquakes and tsunamis
Do they name tornado after male name and Hurricane after female name?
Do you mean the National Weather Service giving tornadoes male names and hurricanes female names? If so, the answer is no. Hurricanes are named from lists that are compiled of a name starting with each letter of the alphabet and alternating in gender. Tornadoes do not get names at all.
What happens when 2 tornadoes run into each other?
When two tornadoes meet, they merge into one tornado.
Who names tornadoes?
They don't. Tornadoes are too short-lived and to numerous to name them. People name hurricanes to avoid confusion when more than one is happening at the same time, and to distinguish between hurricanes that impact the same areas.
What is it called when there is a group of hurricanes?
A group, or 2 or more, hurricanes has no official name. It just pertains to the chaos theory and the fujiwara effect. But when hurricanes do get close enough to each other, they will circle each other until an outside force pulls them apart. This is called the Fujiwara effect.
Can a tornado kill?
The greatest portion of tornado deaths results from flying debris. Everyday objects and building materials can be turned into deadly projectiles by a strong tornado. Others may die as buildings collapse on them. In weak tornadoes, which are not often deadly, may cause deaths through toppling trees and other heavy objects or overturning trailers. In some cases people may be picked up and thrown by the winds of a tornado. Occasionally there are unusual cases, as tornadoes have been known to do strange things. One man was found impaled on the lid of a washing machine after a tornado destroyed his home.
How does tornadoes evolve?
The warm and the cold air collide violently with each other

How are tornadoes divided into levels?
Tornadoes are divided into levels on the Enhanced Fujita scale, which uses damage to deliver a wind speed estimates. See the related question for details on each level.
Are tornadoes and hurricanes different from each other?
Yes. They are quite different:A typical hurricane is several hundred miles wide while a typical tornado is no more than a few hundred yards wide.Hurricanes last for days if not weeks while tornadoes rarely last more than an hour; usually less than ten minutes.A hurricane is its own self-sustaining storm system while a tornado is dependent on the thunderstorm that spawns it.Hurricanes can only form over warm ocean water while tornadoes can form almost anywhere.Hurricanes produce a wide variety of hazards including wind, flooding, storm surge, and large waves. Tornadoes only present the dangers of wind and directly wind-related hazards.Most tornadoes will produce a visible funnel-shaped cloud that extends toward the ground, a feature not found in hurricanes.Tornadoes, on average, have faster winds than hurricanes.
