Well, up to 100 tornadoes, can strike a large region not at the minute, but in a day or 2.

Tornadoes are usually not very stable in close proximity to one another and will tend to merge together.

Are tornadoes associated with earthquakes?
No. Tornadoes can cause mild ground vibrations, enough to register on a seismograph, but not enough to be felt, but one would hardly call that an earthquake. Tornadoes are caused by severe thunderstorms. Earthquakes are caused by movement in Earth's crust. Such forces are completely unrelated.
