Hurricanes and tropical storms can be named on a relatively simple naming system because there are rarely more than a dozen in a single season. There has only been one time that the National Hurricane Center ran out of names (2005 season), in which case the used Greek letters to names the excess storms. There were 27 storms in that season. Additionally, hurricanes are large storms that form over the course of hours and days, so they can be tracked and named while they are active.
By comparison the U.S. averages more than 1,000 tornadoes each year; it would be impossible to have a naming system for so many storms. Additionally tornadoes are very small and short lived compared with hurricanes; a tornado sometimes only lasts a few seconds and the occurrence of a tornado is often not confirmed until after it has passed through. Same with waterspouts and dust devils.
No. All hurricanes and other tropical cyclones above tropical depression strength get named, however extratropical cyclones are not named. Tornadoes never get names.
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).
no not like hurricanes tornadoes get named the place where it touchdown like the hallam nebraska tornado or the tri state tornado
Tornadoes are not named; instead, they are tracked and identified by their geographic location and intensity. Meteorologists and weather organizations typically use the Enhanced Fujita Scale to classify tornadoes based on their estimated wind speeds and damage caused.
Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes. Both hurricanes and tornadoes can be deadly, although hurricanes are more likely to cause widespread destruction due to their larger size and duration. Both hurricanes and tornadoes have strong winds, but hurricanes typically have more sustained, powerful winds over a larger region.
Tornadoes don't get named, Hurricanes do, but Tornadoes don't.
Nobody. Tornadoes do not get names as hurricanes do.
No. All hurricanes and other tropical cyclones above tropical depression strength get named, however extratropical cyclones are not named. Tornadoes never get names.
No, tornadoes are not named. Unlike hurricanes tornadoes come and go too quickly to be named and there are far to many of them for there to be any semblance of an effective naming system.

Tornadoes are not named as hurricanes are. The first known use of the word "tornado" was in 1556.
No. Tornadoes do not get names. However, there have been several hurricanes named Emily.

Not really. Although hurricanes and tornadoes have some notable similarities, they are completely different phenomena. It is not uncommon for hurricanes to produce tornadoes, but most tornadoes are not a result of hurricanes.
hurricanes can have tornadoes.
Generally not, although tornadoes are often produced by landfalling hurricanes, most tornadoes are not associate with hurricanes.
