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.

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.
