Tornadoes do not always hit the same places. However tornadoes, especially the strong ones that are likely to become major new items are more common in certain regions due to climatic reasons.
The central and southern United States experience a convergence of warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico, dry air from the Rockies, cool air from Canada combined with wind shear and an inversion cap. This leads to powerful, rotating thunderstorms called supercells, which produce the majority of tornadoes. Similar conditions can occur elsewhere, but not as often. Reporting is also a factor. The United States is the only developed nation that experiences violent tornadoes on a regular basis. Other, less developed nations also have violent tornadoes, but do not conduct surveys or keep extensive records.
It is very rare for a tornado to hit the same place twice, however it does happen. A great example of this is Guy, Arkansas. It was here that a church was hit by three tornadoes within a twenty-four hour period.
Yes, it is possible for a tornado to hit the same place more than once. Tornadoes can follow similar paths or even "cycle" back on themselves, causing multiple impacts in the same area.
Yes, tornadoes can and do occasionally hit New Jersey. While they are not as common as in the central plains states of the U.S., New Jersey does experience tornadoes, typically during severe weather outbreaks or from tropical systems. It's important for residents to be prepared and have a plan in place in case a tornado does occur.
Yes, tornadoes can hit Greenville. While not as common as in "Tornado Alley" in the central United States, tornadoes can still occur in various regions across the country, including Greenville, South Carolina. It's important for residents to stay informed and have a plan in place in case of tornado warnings.
Tornadoes typically hit the ground, causing damage to structures and landscapes in their path. By definition, a tornado is a rapidly rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground.
Yes, they can.
There are two main factors in this. First, some regions, such as the Great Plains, and the South, tend to get a lot of tornadoes, so it is easy for the same area to be hit a few times. The other part of it is simply bad luck. If a place can be hit once, it can be hit again; the "lightning never strikes twice" rule doesn't really work.

not tornadoes do not have names they only get named by the place where they touch down

The stretch of land hit by a tornado is referred to as its damage path. If you are referring to a particular region where all the world's tornadoes occur, there is none as tornadoes can happen almost anywhere. However the place that get s more tornadoes than anywhere else is called Tornado Alley.
Any place in Michigan can be hit by a tornado.
That depends on the frequency of tornadoes in the area and the period of time you are talking about. You are a lot more likely to see two tornadoes hit the same place if you watch it for a century than if you watch it for only a year. On the whole it is very unlikely for any given spot to be hit twice in a person's lifetime. That being said, the "lightning never strike twice" rule does not apply. Getting hit by one tornado does not mean you are less likely to be hit by another.
Yes, in fact some places have been hit twice in the same day. On April 3, 1974 the towns of Tanner, Capshaw , and Harvest, Alabama were first hit by an F5 tornado, followed by an F4 (listed by some as F5) tornado barely 30 minutes later. In some places it was impossible to tell which tornado damage what.
Not in the same place. While a large scale storm system can produce tornadoes in one area, freezing rain in another place, and blizzard conditions in another, these will be in different parts of the system that are far apart.
Tornadoes hit the U.S. every year.
