Typhoons, cyclones, and hurricanes are the same thing. Typhoons occur in the western Pacific Ocean

Hurricanes occur in the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico; intense form of tropical storm

Cyclones occur near the Indian Ocean and Australia.

They need very warm ocean water and an air disturbance to keep warm air rising to last.

Could any state end up getting a tornado from a hurricane?

Yes. It it fairly common for hurricanes to produce tornadoes when they make landfall. Therefore, any state that can get a hurricane could get a hurricane-spawned tornado. Some states, notably in the far northwest, will rarely if ever be affected by either tropical cyclones or by tornadoes, because the weather systems there are not conducive to their formation. The state of Alaska has had only 2 confirmed tornadoes over the last 65 years and only post-tropical cyclones.
