How many thunderstorms occur each day?

The U.S. averages about 1200 tornadoes per year which works out to an average of about 3.3 per day. It is far from an even distribution, though. First, tornadoes are far more common in spring and summer than in the winter and activity varies from year to year. Second, tornadoes often occur in outbreaks with major events sometimes producing several dozen tornadoes in a single day. Between outbreaks there can be periods of little to no tornado activity. The largest number of tornadoes observed in 24 hours is 208 set on April 27, 2011. Accurate global statistics are not available as many countries do not keep records of tornadoes.

Can two tornadoes appear in a day?

Far more than that actually. If six or more tornadoes occur in one storm system within a day it is called a tornado outbreak. Some tornado outbreaks will produce several dozen tornadoes in a day. Currently the record is held by April 27, 2011, in which over 200 tornadoes touched down in 24 hours. The outbreak as a whole lasted 4 days and produced over 350 tornadoes.

How many tornadoes have hit the world?

It is unknown. Most countries do not keep records of their tornadoes and the one with the best record keeping, the United States, has only been doing so since 1950. Even then a large number of weak tornadoes in the U.S. were missed. Since record keeping began in 1950 the U.S. has recorded over 56,000 tornadoes. The figure for actual tornadoes worldwide in the same period is probably in the hundreds of thousands.
