Fairly often actually. It is not uncommon for multiple supercells to produce tornadoes at the same time during an outbreak. Even more often several tornadoes form and dissipate in succession, though in most cases no two are on the ground at the same time.

Can more than one tornado happen at the same time in a different place?

Yes, this occurs sometimes during tornado outbreaks.


What happen when tornado and lightning happen at the same time?

The lightning can light up the tornado, but nothing else really happens. This is a rather common occurrence as tornadoes form from thunderstorms.


What happen if a lightning and tornado and earthquake happen in the same time?

Lightning frequently accompanies tornadoes anyway. On the unlikely even that a tornado occurred during an earthquake, there would probably be more damage than either of the two could do on their own.


What would happen if you exploded a powerful bomb in the center of a large tornado?

For a massive wedge tornado, anything short of a nuclear bomb would probably not do much. A nuclear bomb would probably disrupt it, but at the same time would cause far more damage than the tornado itself could.


Is hurricane and tornado in a bottle the same thing?

If you mean a hurricane in a bottle then yes, a hurricane in a bottle and a tornado in a bottle are the same thing. In shape, however, the vortex bears more resemblance to a tornado than a hurricane.


Is it possible to make a tornado?

No. While tornadoes and lightning often occur at the same time a tornado cannot be made of lighting, nor are the two directly related. A tornado is a vortex of air; lighting is an electrical discharge.

Is the eye of a storm the same thing as the eye of a tornado?

They eye of a storm is more often identified with the eye of a hurricane, though there is a similar structure in some tornadoes that could be called an eye.


What do they call more than one tornado?

It depends. More than one tornado produce by a cyclic supercell are called a tornado family. Six or more tornadoes produced by the same storm system is called a tornado outbreak. If one tornado forms next to, and circles another it is called a satellite tornado. Another possibility is what is called a multiple vortex tornado. This is a tornado that has several smaller, more intense suction vorticies moving around inside it, almost like mini-twisters. However, it is still considered one tornado even though it may have two or more funnels.


Will a tornado happen in Frankfort New York?

Long term predictions about tornadoes are impossible to make. While there is a chance that Frankfort, NY could get a tornado, there is no way of say where or when. The same goes for any location.


Is tornado alley located in the same place every year?

Yes. It is located in the middle of the united states (Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas etc) due to a favorable climate setup. Tornado Alley does not move, but major tornado outbreak can happen in other regions.
