Tornadoes are generally considered a land based phenomenon.

There are however waterspouts which are essentially tornadoes on water, though they are generally not counted as tornadoes unless the hit land.

Well, up to 100 tornadoes, can strike a large region not at the minute, but in a day or 2.

Tornadoes are usually not very stable in close proximity to one another and will tend to merge together.
