It's possible to have several hundred plus tornadoes caused by one hurricane. Most are small.

“Studies have shown that more than half of the landfalling hurricanes produce at least one tornado; Hurricane Buelah (1967) spawned 141 according to one study. In general, tornadoes associated with hurricanes are less intense than those that occur in the Great Plains (see the Fujita Intensity Scale below). Nonetheless, the effects of tornadoes, added to the larger area of hurricane-force winds, can produce substantial damage.”

A friend told me that Hurricane Hugo generated around 3000 tornadoes but I can't confirm that.

I don’t know why you keep saying it’s stalled, it has moved at a regular pace towards the coast for hours now. A plane is about to enter the center again, so we should have a new fix soon, but I’ve got the Brownsville KML loaded on my GoogleEarth and I’ve been watching it move all night long.
I’m real hopeful that it keeps moving north-west though, as that northern side keeps reading pretty nasty every time they drop a sensor down it. Max surface winds in the northern quad is 85mph.
