There is no shortage of examples of tornadoes in Florida. Literally thousands have hit the state since record keeping began in 1950. To give an example, we shall turn to one of the worst tornadoes to hit Florida. This F3 tornado struck Kissimmee, near Orlando, on February 23, 1998. It tore through a mobile home park and and RV park in the town, killing 25 people and injuring nearly 150. In total, 1,000 structures were damaged or destroyed by this tornado and damage totalled $50 million.

Both the tornado in bottle and a real tornado involve a vortex that strengthens via the principle of conservation of angular momentum.
Although Florida has a very high concentration of tornadoes, they generally are not as strong or as destructive as the ones that occur in Tornado Alley. For example, since official records began in 1950 Florida has had 2 F4 tornadoes and no F5 tornadoes. By comparison Oklahoma has had 57 F4 tornadoes and 6 F5 tornadoes.
Tornadoes do not have names.
