They come mostly at tornado alley
Yes, Houston is located in an area of the United States known as "Tornado Alley," where tornadoes are relatively common. While tornadoes are not as frequent in Houston as they are in other parts of Tornado Alley, they can still occur in the region.
Unlike north central Texas, Houston is not in Tornado Alley. Smaller tornadoes can occur during severe weather. They are most likely to be found along frontal boundaries of an air massduring the spring months. Tornadoes in Houston usually measure a weak F1 on the old Fujita scale, and cause light to moderate damage to well-constructed buildings. The strongest recorded tornado in Houston history was an F4 on November 21, 1992, part of a large outbreak of tornadoes.
There do not appear to be any reliable records of tornadoes spawned by the Galveston hurricane. There is a chance that the storm did produce tornadoes, but back in 1900 there was no system of record keeping for tornadoes as there is today.
In the years 1950-2010 Texas has had 7903 confirmed tornadoes.
Nimbus clouds can be associated with severe weather, including tornadoes, but they do not directly cause tornadoes. Tornadoes form when conditions such as instability, wind shear, and a triggering mechanism come together in the right way. Nimbus clouds can be a sign of these conditions, but they are not the sole cause of tornadoes.

Yes, Houston, Texas has experienced tornadoes in the past due to its location in "Tornado Alley." Tornadoes can occur in the Greater Houston area, but they are relatively rare compared to other parts of Texas.
Yes. There was at least one weak tornado in Houston in 2000.
No it does not come from tornadoes . :] .....
Yes. Tornadoes form from the clouds of a thunderstorm.

Generally not, although tornadoes are often produced by landfalling hurricanes, most tornadoes are not associate with hurricanes.
Usually one tornado does not result in other tornadoes. Some strong tornadoes can produce a satellite tornadoes that orbit them, but this is not very common.
Tornadoes most often come out of the southwest.
The U.S. averages about 1200 tornadoes per year.
Tornadoes come in all seasons but are most common in spring and summer.
Tornadoes come from thunderstorms, usually, powerful rotating storms called supercells. However, tornadoes can sometimes form with squall lines, hurricanes, and in rare cases, single cell storms.
