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.

A tornado that touches the ground is simply a tornado. Before it touches down it is called a funnel cloud.
A bullet fired horizontally over level ground hits the ground in 0.5 seconds If it had been fired with twice the speed in the same direction it would have hit the ground when?
Assuming no affects from air and a smooth geography, both bullets would fall at the same rate of 9.81 m/s^2 toward earth, and hit the ground simultaneously. You have to look at the bullet's velocity as having a horizontal and vertical velocity vectors. The vertical velocity vector is independent from that of the horizontal. The horizontal vector would be the speed at which the bullet is fired, and the vertical vector is the speed at which the bullet falls due to gravity.
Is the reason why Lincoln Nebraska has never been hit by a tornado have anything to do with the salt creek that flows through there?
Lincoln has been hit by tornadoes before. The fact that it has not been hit by a major tornado in recent years has simply been a matter of chance. A creek will not affect tornadoes in any way whatsoever.

Well, neither it really depends on the amount of wind and how high it is hit. If you hit it in the same conditions at the same height, they would hit the ground at the exact same time. Its all gravity. Well, neither it really depends on the amount of wind and how high it is hit.

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.
What are the chances of a tornado striking same place more than once?
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.
What are the names of all the tornadoes that have hit the ground?
not tornadoes do not have names they only get named by the place where they touch down
