Tornadoes are rated on the Enhanced Fujita scale, which uses damage severity to estimate the tornado's wind speed and assign a rating ranging from EF0 at the weakest to EF5 at the strongest.
Tornadoes are sometimes divided into "weak" tornadoes "strong" and "violent" tornadoes. Weak tornadoes are those rated EF0 and EF1. Most tornadoes are weak. Strong tornadoes are those rated EF2 and EF3. Violent tornadoes are those rated EF4 and EF5. They are the rarest of tornadoes, only about 1% of tornadoes are this strong.
They rank tornadoes from F0 to F5 on the on the Fujita scale (Now the Enhanced Fujita scale in the U.S. from EF0 to EF5) based on damage. F5 causing total devastation, and F0 causing relatively mild damage. Hurricanes are rated on the Saffir-Simpson scale from category 1 to category 5 based on maximum sustained wind speed.
Tornadoes are often referred to simply as "tornadoes" or "twisters."
The plural of tornado is tornadoes.
Tennessee averages about 30 tornadoes per year.

Florida ranks 4th in annual number of tornadoes, behind Texas, Kansas, and Oklahoma.
Arkansas ranks 3rd in terms of tornado fatalities.
Yes. In Europe in the past there were 8 tornadoes that reached the F5 or EF5 rank. Bangladesh,China,Philippines and Japan are the country with more tornadoes in the continent. Bangladesh is the country with the most death in the world due to the tornadoes, infact 18 of the 42 tornadoes that have caused more death in the world occured in Bangladesh, among them also the first (Daultipur and Salturia F5 Tornado that killed 1300 people in 1989). Some EF3 or EF4 tornadoes also occured in Japan killing several people.
Tornadoes in the U.S. are called tornadoes.
Texas annually has more tornadoes than any other state, followed by Oklahoma. However, the statistics are misleading, since Texas is much larger than its neighboring states. Florida has the highest number of tornadoes per 10,000 square miles each year.

It depends on what you mean by extreme. Tornadoes of EF4 and EF5 tornadoes, however are often referred to as violent tornadoes. These account for about 1% of all tornadoes.
They rank tornadoes from F0 to F5 on the on the Fujita scale (Now the Enhanced Fujita scale in the U.S. from EF0 to EF5) based on damage. F5 causing total devastation, and F0 causing relatively mild damage. Hurricanes are rated on the Saffir-Simpson scale from category 1 to category 5 based on maximum sustained wind speed.
Tornadoes don't get named, Hurricanes do, but Tornadoes don't.
The ranks are: Normal Rank, Bronze rank, Silver Rank, Gold Rank, Diamond Rank, Super Rank, Ultra Rank, Hyper Rank, Master Rank, Master * Rank, Master ** Rank, Master *** Rank, and Guildmaster Rank.
