Tornado do happen near and on the coast. It just so happens that the areas that get strong tornadoes (the tornadoes that get all the attention) happen to be inland. The strong thunderstorms that produce most tornadoes form most easily when warm, moist air collides with cool and/or dry air along with a few other conditions. These meet most ideally in inland areas but tornado outbreak along coasts have also ocurred.
Tornadoes usually form over land due to temperature and moisture differences in the atmosphere. The coastal regions of the United States typically have more stable atmospheric conditions and are influenced by the moderating effects of the nearby ocean, which makes it less conducive for tornado formation.
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.
Tornadoes have occurred in all 50 states. However. Most tornadoes happen in or near the area known as tornado alley, which extends north from Texas to South Dakota and includes parts of some adjacent states.
There are more tornadoes in Alabama compared to hurricanes. Alabama is part of a region known as Tornado Alley, which experiences multiple tornadoes each year. Hurricanes are less common in Alabama, but the state can still be impacted by hurricanes that make landfall along the Gulf Coast.
Tornadoes can hit any part of Texas, but they are more common in the eastern and central regions of the state. Areas closer to the Gulf Coast are less prone to tornado activity compared to the northern and central areas of Texas. However, it is important to note that tornadoes can occur anywhere in Texas.
It is possible, tornadoes have touched down near Kimberly before.
Tornadoes are not a common occurrence near the equator, however, waterspouts, which occasionally come on land an become tornadoes may still occur. Near the equator such tornadoes probably spin clockwise and counterclockwise in equal numbers.
Tornadoes in the U.S. are most common on the Great Plains and in the Deep South. Hurricanes usually impact the Gulf coast and the southern Atlantic coast.
No, hail doesn't fall in tornadoes, but it often falls near them.
No, the east coast of the US gets hit with hurricanes.
The Pacific Coast.
Smaller tornadoes near a larger tornadoes are often called satellite tornadoes. Smaller vortices within a tornado are called subvorticies or suction vorticies.
Tornadoes generally form along fronts. Whether or not the area is coastal has no significant impact on occurrence.

Yes. Tornadoes can occur where in Indiana. Records indicate that two tornadoes have occurred in or very near Cedar Lake since 1950.
Yes. India has had tornadoes. They are most common in the areas near Bangladesh.
