Best Answer

Since official records began in 1950 through 2014 Tennessee has had 1,148 recorded tornadoes. The actual number of tornadoes in the period is probably much higher as up until the 1980s most of the weaker tornadoes were missed. More recent records suggest that Tennessee gets about 30 tornadoes in an average year.

Tornadoes have ocurred in portions of Tennessee. If you are referrinf to the recent tornado activity in April 2014, two tornadoes have been confirmed in the southern and northwestern parts of the state. Further surveys may find additional tornadoes.
