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.

Why do tornadoes appear black?

Tornadoes do not always appear black. The apparent color depends on lighting conditions and how much and what color of soil is being lifted. Many tornadoes appear dark because of perspective: the are lit from behind and are essentially silhouetted against the light source. The same tornado may appear lighter if viewed from a different angle. The storms that spawn tornadoes have very thick clouds that often making conditions appear very dark. The clouds themselves may be black. Some tornadoes may be black as they lift large amounts of black soil into the air.
