They do, but most tornadoes don't make international news and generally, the strongest tornadoes that do most of the serious damage occur in the U.S.
Hurricanes occur in the Southern Hemisphere, but are called cyclones or tropical cyclones rather than hurricanes.

Why do hurricanes move toward the northeast as they enter the U.S.?
According to the information provided at the website below most hurricanes that hit the United States form in the Atlantic Ocean or the Caribbean Sea. As the ocean feeds moisture and warm air into the developing storm they create a rotation that's affected by the Earth's spin. In the Northern Hemisphere the rotation is always counterclockwise. In the Southern Hemisphere the storms rotate in a clockwise direction. The direction of that rotation, influenced by the location of the storm, is called the Coriolis Effect. You can read more about hurricanes and the Coriolis Effect at the link provided below. The path of a hurricane is determined by the weather systems that surround the storm from the upper atmosphere to the surface of the ocean. The systems often steer the hurricane to the northeast but a hurricane can also veer inland. The path of the hurricane can change as the weather systems change and that makes accurate predictions as to where it will hit difficult to make. See the additional information at the related link.
