Since official record keeping began in 1950, there have been 58,009 tornadoes recorded in the U.S. The actual number of tornadoes is likely much higher though, as in the early part of this period we missed many of the weaker tornadoes.
Modern records suggest the U.S. averages between 1,200 and 1,300 tornadoes per year. This suggests that more than 75,000 tornadoes ocurred in this time period, and likely more than 80,000.
