What is the percent of tornadoes are F4?
Based on data from 1991-2011 (when the number of tornadoes in the U.S. was accurately recorded) F4 and EF4 tornadoes averaged about 0.5% of all tornadoes.
What year had the lowest amount of tornadoes ever recorded?
That is difficult to answer, as prior to the 1990s, we did not accurately record the number of tornadoes, and the only consistent source that goes back before 1950 only lists significant tornadoes. However, by the 1980s were were recording cloase to the same percentage of tornadoes that we do today. Based on these 34 years of data, the year with the fewest recorded tornadoes is 1987, with 656 recorded tornadoes in the United States. Other data also suggests that this was a rather inactive year.
How many tornadoes happened in 2013?
Global statistics are not available. Based on a preliminary count there have been 413 tornadoes in the United States as of June 16.
How many tornadoes form in a day?
It varies. Many days go without a single recorded tornado, while in some major tornado outbreaks, over 100 tornadoes may touch down in a day. To further complicate the issue, many tornadoes in developing nations or in sparsely populate areas go unreported. Based on tornadoes that are recorded though, there is an overall mean of 3 to 4 tornadoes per day, though few days actually see that number of tornadoes.
How many tornadoes were there in Arkansas during 2000-2012?

What was the name of the tornado in Oklahoma that happened on May 22 2013?
Tornadoes do not have names, though they may be referred to based on where and sometimes when they hit. There were no recorded tornadoes in Oklahoma on May 22, 2013. However, a devastating tornado tore through Moore, Oklahoma on May 20. This tornado will be remembered as the 2013 Moore tornado or the 2013 Moore, Oklahoma tornado. The year, in this case, is necessary to distingush this from other major tornadoes that have hit Moore.
How many tornadoes have happened worldwide in the last 100 years?
It is not known as there are no accurate records going back that far. The United States keeps the most detailed records, and even then official U.S. records only go back to 1950 and do not accurately record the number of tornadoes until the 1990s. Most countries do not keep detailed records of tornadoes and many tornadoes that touch down are never recorded. At a guess, based on U.S. statistics from the past couple decades, the worldwide number of tornadoes in the past 100 years is probably in the hundreds of thousands.
What is an F5's diameter?
If you are referring to the diameter of an F5 tornado then there is no definite answer. Size is not a factor in rating tornadoes. Tornadoes are rated based on how bad their damage is. In the case of F5 tornadoes, that means houses must be completely swept away. F5 tornadoes have been recorded at a variety of sizes ranging from 60 yards to 2.3 miles.
How many times have F5 tornadoes happened?
There have been there have been 112 known F5 or EF5 tornadoes based on records since 1880. However, the number in older records is likely higher. It is very difficult to tell the difference between F4 and F5 tornadoes based on old records, and in the case of uncertainty an F4 rating is given.
