No. In fact dues to the sea breeze being near the ocean can actually make it more likely that tornadoes will occur. Florida, for example, rivals Tornado Alley in number of tornadoes per area unit.
No, the weather has no influence on the Earth's crust.
No, hurricanes are generally easier to predict. Hurricanes are much larger than tornadoes and occur over the course of days, as opposed to tornadoes which typically last a few minutes. As a result it is easier to study and monitor hurricanes and therefor predict them.
New Orleans is an area of the United States prone to a couple of different natural disasters. The area is prone to hurricanes and tornadoes.
If you look at the records, Tampa actually gets tornadoes more often than hurricanes, but these tornadoes are generally short-lived and weak. Florida is near the tropics and is bordered on three sides by warm ocean water. These are ideal conditions for hurricanes. The tropical location also means that there less of a temperature drop with increasing altitude than in more temperate regions. This means that while instability develops often, it rarely reaches extreme levels as it does over the Great Plains. Additionally, wind shear is not as strong as it is farther north. This creates an environment in which tornadoes occur rather frequently, but very intense tornadoes are quite rare.
Move to a new region where tornadoes are less likely. The safest place during a tornado is underground in a basement or storm cellar.
Tornadoes are a product of thunderstorms, which are fueled by warm, moist air. Polar regions are too cold.
The greatest number of tornadoes worldwide occur in the United States. Tornadoes occur frequently in Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Tennessee, and Mississippi. They are a bit less frequent in the northern plains states and Ohio Valley. Every state in the USA has had tornadoes at some time.
Tornadoes are rare in the U.S. in Alaska, Hawaii, and in the contiguous states west of the Rockies. They are also less common in the northeastern part of the country.
Tornadoes occur least often in the winter.
On average Canada gets 80 to 100 tornadoes each year.
The strongest tornadoes occur the least often. Only a few percent of tornadoes are rated EF3 or higher. Less than 1 in a thousand receive an EF5 rating.
Not really. While tornadoes do occur in New York, strong tornadoes are rare and deaths are even less common.
Tornadoes can occur anywhere in the world, except Antarctica. The UK has seen its share of tornadoes, although most have been under the F1 damage level. Tornadoes are less likely in England, but are still possible. The largest tornado in England was probably the London Tornado of 1091. The death toll was unknown.
The United States averages about 1200 tornadoes each year. Worldwide the number is less certain.
Hurricanes are tropical storm systems that form only over warn ocean water. Tornadoes are less limited. They usually form on land in temperate climates, but they can occur on water (in which case they are called waterspouts) and in tropical regions.
They don't. Tornadoes do occur in New York, but they are relatively rare. The regions cool climate and less-than ideal setup of wind shear and instability means that tornadoes, especially strong ones, don't occur often.
The United States averages about 1,200 tornadoes each year, some years have more and some have less.
