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.
Not all tornadoes are black. There are two ways a tornado may appear black. First, the tornado may be back lit, causing it to appear dark. Some tornadoes lift large amounts of soil into the air. In such a situation, if the soil in an area is black, the tornado will likely be black as well.
Tornadoes are more common during the day, but they happen at night fairly often as well. About 58% of tornadoes occur during the day.
No part of Arizona is completely free of tornadoes, but they appear to be less common in the western part of the state.
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.
Yes, of course there can be two tornadoes at the same time.
Yes. It is quite common for more than two tornadoes to occur. An outbreak could easily produce several dozen tornadoes in a day.
Cumulus clouds don't so much appear in tornadoes. It is more accurate to say that tornadoes descend from cumulonimbus clouds.

Tornadoes happen in both hemispheres.

Tornadoes can occur just about anywhere in the U.S. but are most common on the Great Plains and in Florida.

No, tornadoes can appear grey when they are filled with dust and debris, but their color can also vary depending on the time of day, the lighting conditions, and the environment they are moving through. Tornadoes can sometimes appear white, black, or even have a bluish tint.

Tornadoes don't kill people every day. On average about 80 people are killed by tornadoes each year.
