There frequently are. However most tornadoes happen over water and don't have a devastating impact, so they don't make the news (these tornadoes are called "waterspouts"). However, most weather agencies do not include waterspouts in official tornado counts unless the hit land. However, the have been a few incidents in which 100 or more tornadoes occurred in 1 day. Most notably on April 27, 2011 an 209 tornadoes touched down, mostly in the U.S. in the largest tornado outbreak ever recorded.
