Is there going to be a tornado jockey 2?
most likely not because tornado jockey, although fun and awesome, was not one of its company's money makers. It is also pretty much endless which would eliminate the reason for a sequel so basically they could just do something like a Hurricane Jockey which would be a branch off of Tornado Jockey.

Could any state end up getting a tornado from a hurricane?
Yes. It it fairly common for hurricanes to produce tornadoes when they make landfall. Therefore, any state that can get a hurricane could get a hurricane-spawned tornado. Some states, notably in the far northwest, will rarely if ever be affected by either tropical cyclones or by tornadoes, because the weather systems there are not conducive to their formation. The state of Alaska has had only 2 confirmed tornadoes over the last 65 years and only post-tropical cyclones.
What features classify a large-scale weather event?
2 large-scale weather events that I can think of would be hurricanes and tornadoes. In order for a tropical storm to be a hurricane, it must sustain winds of 75+ MPH. Hurricanes are classified by category on the saffir Simpson scale. Should a hurricane have sustained winds of 156+ MPH, that would be considered a Category 5 Hurricane. Tornadoes are classified on the Fujita scale based on the amount of damage the tornado causes and the wind speed that the tornado reaches.
What category was hurricane Micheal in?
