Are all hurricanes cyclones and tornadoes named?
No. All hurricanes and other tropical cyclones above tropical depression strength get named, however extratropical cyclones are not named. Tornadoes never get names.
Are tornadoes named?
No. Tornadoes are too numerous and happen too quickly to be named. Instead tornadoes are usually referred to by the places they hit, such as the Oklahoma City tornado or the Tuscaloosa, Alabama tornado. The only types of storms named are tropical cyclones (e.g. hurricanes).
Can Kansas Have Hurricanes?
Although Kansas is located inland, it is possible for hurricanes to cause impacts such as heavy rainfall, strong winds, and tornadoes as they move inland from the coast. However, the effects are typically not as severe as those experienced along the coast.
What type of surface area do tornadoes and hurricanes form?
Hurricanes can form only open warm ocean water with a temperature of least 80 degrees or 26 celsius. Tornadoes can form over land or water. A tornado formed over water is called a waterspout. Tornadoes can almost anywhere in the world with the right weather conditions. Their have been tornadoes on six continents. Hurricanes form in the tropics and then follow paths that take them either over land or they or they stay over the open ocean.

Many tornadoes have a structure similar to the eye of a hurricane, but the only true eyes are in tropical cyclones. In Tornadoes and other storms it is called a weak echo region.
Do Hurricanes last longer than Tornadoes?
Hurricanes last for days or even weeks. The longest lived hurricane on record lasted 31 days. Tornadoes usually only last a few minutes and are rarely on the ground for over an hour. Some just last a few seconds. The longest lived tornado on record lasted 3.5 hours.

Tornadoes can form over just about any sort of terrain but tend to be more common in flat or gently rolling areas. Hurricanes can only form over warm ocean water.
Are tornadoes the strongest storms on earth?
In terms of total energy output no. That title would probably go to hurricanes which are much bigger and longer lasting than tornadoes. However, tornadoes are the most intense storms on earth, with winds that can exceed 300 mph.
