I'm not certain what your question is really asking. But, tornados are very commonly formed on the edge of hurricanes, and sometimes account for a lot of the damage that is caused as the hurricane moves onto land.

Good question. Tornadoes are a frequent occurance with hurricanes once the latter have moved over land. This is one time when the general meteorological conditions favorable for tornado development are sort of artificially established with the cyclone creating the vertical shear and the thunderstorm cells that are necessary ingredients for tornadoes.

Yes, hurricanes are frequently accompanied by tornadoes once they hit land, and a great deal of the damage from hurricanes is actually caused by the tornadoes they spawn.

Hurricanes often produce tornadoes in their spiral bands, supercells form very rapidly due to the wind shear in the enviroment. The tornadoes however are often very short lived and weak.

Actually, a tornado and a hurricane cant COMBINE, but hurricanes can PRODUCE tornadoes.

Sure. When hurricanes blow in, tornadoes are always possible and have occurred.
