Have tornadoes ever hit the same place twice in the same 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.

What are the chances of a tornado striking same place more than once?

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.

Why is a tornado a physical change?

A tornado moves air and objects from one place to another and can tear apart buildings and trees. However, in all of this the chemical composition of everything hit by the tornado remains the same. Therefore all changes in this case are physical.


Do they ever use the same name for a hurricane twice?

A tornado striking a given area does not change that area's chances be being hit again in the future. In some tornado outbreaks the same location has been hit two or even three times in the same day. It is also possible, though rare, for a spot to be hit twice by the same tornado. In order for this to happen the tornado must turn around and cross its own path. Such instances are most likely to happen with a slow-moving tornado.


When did tornado alley hit South Dakota?

Why do tornadoes hit the same place twice?

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.
