Tornadoes are far more numerous than hurricanes and they form and dissipate much more quickly. The average Atlantic hurricane season produces about 10 named storms (tropical storms or hurricanes) with relatively few seasons producing more than 15 named storms. Such a small number makes it fairly easy to maintain a list of names. A hurricane takes days to develop and can easily last for more than a week, so they can be easily named and tracked as they occur.
By contrast, the United States experiences between 1,200 and 1,300 tornadoes in an average year. During a major outbreak several dozen tornadoes may form in a single day. This is far too many for any naming system to handle. Additionally, the duration of most tornadoes is measured in minutes, making them harder to track in real time. Surveys to distinguish between tornado damage and non-tornadic winds and to determine where one tornado ended and another began can take days.
