Yes. There is no shortage of examples.
It is very rare for a tornado to hit the same place twice, however it does happen. A great example of this is Guy, Arkansas. It was here that a church was hit by three tornadoes within a twenty-four hour period.
Depends on what town you're talking about. You first have to determine the chance of your town getting hit ONCE by a tornado. Oklahoma City has a much higher risk of getting hit by a tornado than Los Angeles, CA...So therefore the risk of Oklahoma City getting struck by 2 tornadoes would be much higher than Los Angeles.
Hurricane names are reused every six years in the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific basins, but only if the previous storm wasn't particularly deadly or costly. If a hurricane causes extensive damage, its name is retired and replaced with a new one to avoid confusion.
The Town of Henryville, Indiana was hit by an EF4 tornado on March 2, 2012.
Tornadoes hit Florida every year.
Yes, in fact some places have been hit twice in the same day. On April 3, 1974 the towns of Tanner, Capshaw , and Harvest, Alabama were first hit by an F5 tornado, followed by an F4 (listed by some as F5) tornado barely 30 minutes later. In some places it was impossible to tell which tornado damage what.
Yes. When a tornado hits a location it does not change the chances of it getting hit again.
Yes, they can.
Yes it can.
There are two main factors in this. First, some regions, such as the Great Plains, and the South, tend to get a lot of tornadoes, so it is easy for the same area to be hit a few times. The other part of it is simply bad luck. If a place can be hit once, it can be hit again; the "lightning never strikes twice" rule doesn't really work.
That depends on the frequency of tornadoes in the area and the period of time you are talking about. You are a lot more likely to see two tornadoes hit the same place if you watch it for a century than if you watch it for only a year. On the whole it is very unlikely for any given spot to be hit twice in a person's lifetime. That being said, the "lightning never strike twice" rule does not apply. Getting hit by one tornado does not mean you are less likely to be hit by another.

It would be tornado alley in St. Helena,South Carolina in the USA
Tornado Alley did not "hit" South Dakota because it is not an event. It is a place that some include South Dakota as a part of.
Yes. A number of towns, especially in Tornado Alley have been hit by multiple tornadoes. Most notably, the suburb of Moore, Oklahoma was hit by an F5 tornado on May 3, 1999, an F4 on May 8, 2003, an EF4 on May 10, 2010, and an EF5 on May 20, 2013. On April 3, 1974 the small town of Tanner, Alabama was struck by an F5 tornado and then by an F4 tornado less than an hour later. The town was again hit by an EF5 tornado on April 27, 2011 following almost the same path. There have been numerous other examples of areas taking two or more direct hits from tornadoes. In a more unusual case, a building near the town of Elie, Manitoba was struck twice by the same tornado on June 22, 2007.
Any place in Michigan can be hit by a tornado.
