1. Hurricanes are the same...

It is probably because the violence of the storms is too scary to watch.

2. 50-50 chance this time of year

there is a lot of night out there still - 12 hours worth per day

3. Tornadoes usually occur between late afternoon and nightfall, but

the ones that happen at night tend to be more deadly because people are asleep indoors, and can't prepare for them. Daytime heating provides the energy for tornadoes, and the heat combined with low-level winds after dark causes night-time tornadoes.

4. They also usually look for trailer parks to hit

5. Because temperatures changes have a lot to do with the formation of tornadoes.

Day to night temperature changes are more usual. Of course there are a lot of other conditions.
