Yes. Tornado watches are issued based partly on computerized weather models and tornadic storms are tracked using Doppler radar.
Temperature, Doppler radar, and wind direction are some of the types of information used to predict tornadoes.
The idea is that studying tornadoes, which sometimes means getting close to them, allows us to better understand them. A better understanding of tornadoes may help us predict them, which would mean better warnings for people who might be in the path of a tornado.
Overall it is extremely difficult to predict tornadoes. By weather standards tornadoes are small and form quickly, usually occurring on a time scale of minutes or seconds. Additionally, how a tornado works is still largely unknown.
Meteorologists chase tornadoes because they can conduct research to better understand and predict them. Many storm chasers, though are not meteorologists, and just chase for the thrill or because tornadoes fascinate them.
Only to a limited degree. Meteorologists can predict areas where tornadoes might occur when the conditions for them arise. But there is no telling exactly when and where a storm will produce a tornado.
There is not real scientific evidence that animals predict tornadoes. Tornadoes come with thunderstorms, and some animals, such as dogs, may hear the thunder before we do, but it is unlikely that they can actually predict tornadoes.
Only to a very limited degree. Analysis of weather conditions can help determine the potential for tornadoes, including strong tornadoes, across a region on a given day. However, it cannot predict how strong individual tornadoes will be or where they will strike. We can also tell if a specific storm cell has potential to produce strong tornadoes, but we still cannot predict excactly when a tornado will form.

It is impossible to predict what counties will and won't have tornadoes at any given time. Tornadoes are very difficult to predict.
one way to predict when a volcano will occur is with the technology scientist use to determine when and where an eruption will occur.

No, it is not
Meteorologists (weather scientists) study tornadoes and how to predict them, but there are no real efforts to try to prevent them. That is impossible.
No. Tornadoes are too rare and too hard to predict for us to use them as an energy source.
That is impossible to predict. Tornadoes cannot be predicted in the long term. Lead times in forecasting tornadoes are measured in minutes, not months.
No, hurricanes are generally easier to predict. Hurricanes are much larger than tornadoes and occur over the course of days, as opposed to tornadoes which typically last a few minutes. As a result it is easier to study and monitor hurricanes and therefor predict them.
Tornadoes are small-scale weather patterns that often come and go relatively quickly. This makes the difficult to predict.
