What tornadoes are the ones that weren't unsuccessful and why?

That depends on what you mean by "successful." If you mean the ones that touch down, it would be impossible to list them. In an average year over 1,200 tornadoes touch down in the United States. An unknown number, likely in the hundreds or possibly thousands start to develop, but never touch down. There are no real records kept of these as they are difficult to verify. As to why, scientists still are not sure why some storms produce tornadoes while others do not. It is known, however, that even very small variation in conditions in a storm can affect whether a tornado forms.
