There has never been a tornado name Sheila as tornadoes are not given names like hurricanes are.
The name Sheila is included on the list of tropical cyclones (generic for hurricanes, typhoons, etc.) in the area of Fiji and was used once, but the storm only reached equivalent to tropical storm intensity.
While rare, it is possible for a tornado to form within a hurricane. These tornadoes, known as "tornadoes embedded in hurricanes," can be particularly dangerous due to the already intense weather conditions from the hurricane.
Yes, there has been a hurricane called Hurricane Robert, which occurred in the Pacific Ocean in 1997. It was a Category 1 hurricane that formed in the eastern Pacific basin.
No, there has not been a hurricane named Katelyn in the Atlantic Basin. The name Katelyn has not been used on the official list of Atlantic hurricane names.
A hurricane would likely have a greater range of pressure than a tornado. Hurricanes are much larger and more intense weather systems, with lower central pressures compared to the smaller and less intense tornadoes. The pressure gradient in a hurricane can vary significantly across its wide expanse, resulting in a greater overall range of pressure compared to tornadoes.
No, there has not been a hurricane named Lucy in the Atlantic hurricane basin. The name Lucy has not been used for tropical cyclones in the Atlantic.
I personally have not, but many people have.
No. No hurricane has gone by that name. Tornadoes are not given names.
No there has not. Tornadoes are not given names as hurricanes are.The has however been a Hurricane Grace.
No. The largest tornado ever recorded was 2.5 miles wide, and only a handful of tornadoes over 2 miles wide have ever been recorded. The smallest hurricane ever recorded was 60 miles wide, with most hurricanes being a few hundred miles wide.
Yes. Much bigger. The eye of a hurricane is larger than the whole tornado in nearly all cases. The eye of a hurricane is usually 20 to 40 miles wide The smallest hurricane eye on record was 2.3 miles wide. Only a few tornadoes have been larger than this. The largest tornado ever recorded was 2.6 miles wide. The typical tornado is 50 to 100 yards wide.
No. No tornado stronger than F5 has ever been recorded.

There is probably a tornado season, as that part of the world does get tornadoes. Uruguay does not, however, have a hurricane season. Only one storm in recorded history has ever reached hurricane intensity in the South Atlantic, and it hit Brazil.
First of all, Katrina was a hurricane, not a tornado. Tornadoes do not have names. And second, no. Hurricane Katrina dissipated seven years ago and can never return. The name Katrina is retired, so no future hurricane will ever have that name.
Yes. Although no hurricane on record has produced an F5 tornado, two known hurricanes have produced F4 tornadoes. Hurricane Carla spawned an F4 tornado in Galveston, Texas on September 12, 1961. Hurricane Hilda spawned an F4 tornado that hit Larose, Louisiana on October 3, 1964.
No there has not been a hurricane by the name of drew
No, that would more likely be a hurricane. The largest tornado ever recorded was 4 km wide.
