Possibly tornadoes can occur anywhere at anytime.
Yes. No place in the world is exempt from storms. The only exception being extremely arid areas in the deep Sahara desert or on cold coast deserts, such as the Namibia or Atacama deserts.
No, they get lots of hurricanes though.
NO
yes it does
BIG TORNADO
There are no tornadoes in Mexico.
Yes. Occasionally there are killer tornadoes in Mexico.
Tornadoes do not happen IN the Gulf of Mexico. Tropical storms and hurricanes happen in the Gulf of Mex, but not tornadoes. Tornado-like features over water are called waterspouts.
No, Canada comes in second for tornadoes.
New Mexico does get tornadoes but is too far inland to get hurricanes. It can get the remnants of hurricanes but they will have dropped below hurricane strength before getting there.
Since recorded began in 1950 there have been 535 tornadoes recorded in New Mexico. Te actual number is probably higher, as prior to the 1990s many of the weaker tornadoes were missed.
Tornadoes, sandstorms, blizzards, typhoons are some of them.
"Scariest" is entirely a matter of personal opinion. However, New Mexico does not get hurricanes can its tornadoes are relatively weak. The scariest events there are probably the occasional dust storms.
Tornadoes occur there because warm moist air from the Gulf of Mexico meets cool dry air from the Rocky Mountains or Canada, this creates the thunderstorms that can spawn tornadoes.
Tornadoes are least common in the western part of the state, near the line with New Mexico.
When cold air from Canada pushes into warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico the warmer, less dense air gets forced upwards. This often results in thunderstorms. Under the right conditions these storms can produce tornadoes.
The Gulf of Mexico provides warm, moist air that can fuel thunderstorms when it meets with cool, dry air from the north. This clash of air masses creates the ideal conditions for severe weather, including tornadoes, to develop in Tornado Alley. The warm, humid air from the Gulf acts as a source of energy for these storms to intensify and form tornadoes.
