Hurricanes can spawn tornadoes within their outer rain bands, known as tropical cyclone tornadoes. On average, about 100-200 tornadoes are reported each year in the United States due to hurricanes and tropical storms. These tornadoes tend to be weaker and short-lived compared to traditional tornadoes.
