Usually not for the people who experience them. Tornadoes are usually very scary when they hit.
Tornadoes do not get actual names. Tornadoes are usually referred to by where they occur, most often a town that they hit or go near.
Since official records began in 1950, the state of New York has recorded tornadoes in every year except for 1950, 1951, and 1953. Even these absences are probably due to incomplete data rather than an actual lack of tornadoes, as most F0 and F1 intensity tornadoes were missed at this point in history. New York City was hit by known tornadoes in the years 1985, 1990, 1995, 2003, 2007, 2010, 2011, and 2012. In 2010 the city was hit by three tornadoes, including two on September 16, one of which was a killer. The strongest tornado to hit the city was an EF2 on August 8, 2007.
You cannot predict where or when tornadoes will hit in the long term. You can asses potential for a general region over the course of a few hours or days, but not for a specific location such as a city or county. That said, New York City has been hit by several tornadoes in the past, ranging in strength from EF0 to EF2, so it is likely that it will be hit again eventually. The last tornado to hit NYC was an EF1 that hit parts of Queens and Brooklyn on September 8, 2012.
Since official records began in 1950 there have been 403 confirmed tornadoes in the state of New York. However, the actual number of tornadoes is probably much higher as in the earlier part of this period most of the weaker tornadoes were missed.
Fairly good actually. The state of New York averages about 9 tornadoes per year with the greatest concentration on the southwestern and central parts of the state.
Tornadoes, hurricanes, blizzards, nor'easters, ice storms, and severe thunderstorms have hit New York. El Niño is not a kind of storm but is a longer-term weather pattern that has various effects throughout the world. New York does get affected by it, but then again, few places don't.
Yes. Tornadoes have hit Connecticut, and no town has any special protection from tornadoes.
