What are the names of tornado?

Tornadoes don't get named. However they are referred to by when an where they occur. Some notable tornadoes include: The St. Louis-East St. Louis tornado of May 27, 1896. This F4 tornado leveled significant portions of these two cities, killing at least 255 people, marking it as the third deadliest tornado in U.S. history. The Tri-State tornado of March 18, 1925. This F5 tornado tore a damage path 219 miles long and up to a mile wide across parts of Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana killing 695 people and injuring more than 2,000 marking it as the deadliest tornado in U.S. history. The tornado completely destroyed the towns of Annapolis, Missouri; Gorham, Illinois; and Griffin, Indiana. Several other towns were partially or mostly destroyed. In all the tornado destroyed an estimated 15,000 homes. The Jarrell, Texas tornado of May 27, 1997. This F5 tornado struck a small town in Texas where it essentially erased the Double Creek subdivision. Houses, trees, streets, driveways and grass were all blown away, turning the neighborhood into a field of mud spotted with the concrete slabs that once supported homes. The only debris found was finely granulated. It was the most extreme case of tornado damage ever surveyed. In all 27 people were in the swath of worst damage at the time the tornado struck; only one of them survived. With one additional death in a farm house outside Jarrel, the total death toll to 27. If the tornado had hit a more populated area this figure would have been much higher. The Oklahoma City tornado of May 3, 1999. This F5 tornado leveled large portions of the suburbs of Oklahoma City, killing 36 people and destroying an estimated 8,000 homes. At the time it was the costliest tornado in U.S. with damage totaling $1 billion, though it would be surpassed 12 year later. The Tuscaloosa-Birmingham tornado of April 27, 2011. This EF4 tornado destroyed large sections of Tuscaloosa and Birmingham in Alabama during the largest tornado outbreak every recorded. In total the tornado killed 64 people, injured over 1,500 and caused $2.2 billion in damage, surpassing the Oklahoma City tornado of 1999 as the costliest in U.S. history. It would hold this title for only 3 weeks. It was also one of the deadliest tornadoes in Alabama history, surpassed only by an EF5 tornado that killed 72 people on the same day. The Joplin, Missouri tornado of May 22, 2011. This EF5 tornado rapidly intensified as it tore through Joplin, destroying more than a quarter of the city. The tornado swept homes off their foundations, peeled up parts of parking lots, and destroyed an estimated 7,000 homes. In all the tornado killed 158 people, injured over 1,100, and caused $2.8 billion in damage. This marks it as the costliest tornado in U.S. history, the 7th deadliest, and the single deadliest since 1947.

What country has lots of tornado?

It's hard to say. The U.S. has the most tornadoes on average, but India also has its fair share. The only problem is that media doesn't cover India as much as they do in other nations. Thus, many tornadoes are unrecorded. And if it might help you at all, the U.S. has four times the number of tornadoes than all of Europe, excluding waterspouts.
