The rural areas of Texas, Kansas, and Missouri get hit by most tornadoes and often frequently. Oklahoma city they were hit 32 times in the past 90 years
Mostly in the south but they can happen pretty much anywhere if the weather is right. But mostly in Kansas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri, Mississippi, Louisiana. Tornadoes can occur in the southern coastal region as a result of hurricanes that have hit shore and the weather continues to progress northward.
In the past 10 years tornadoes at least 1402 people have been killed by tornadoes, including 1089 in the United States.
tornadoes don't touch down in cities that often because 95% of US land is rural. only 1% is city and 4% is suburban. so there is only one percent chance of a tornado hitting your cities land. but they do happen Miami, Houston/fort worth, and Oklahoma city have all been hit by tornadoes in the last ten years.
Yes. Baton Rouge has had several tornadoes in the past 60 or so years.
In the years 2000-2010 Oklahoma had 579 confirmed tornadoes.
Since 1950 there have been 3,288 confirmed tornadoes in Oklahoma. The number of actual tornadoes is probably higher as most weak tornadoes (F0 and F1) were not recorded in the earlier years.
There are 1200 tornadoes recorded in an average years.

Oklahoma has had the most F4 and F5 tornadoes. Though it is tied with Texas, Iowa, and Alabama in terms of F5 tornadoes in the past 60 years.
In the years 2010-2011 Texas had 208 tornadoes (107 in 2010, 101 in 2011), Oklahoma had 220 tornadoes (102 in 2010, 118 in 2011), and Arkansas had 106 tornadoes (33 in 2010, 73 in 2011). The combined total is 535 (240 in 2010, 295 in 2011). This is slightly less than the sum of these numbers as some of these tornadoes crossed state lines.
Not really. In the past 60 years the town has been hit by two tornadoes. However Since Coweta is a small town that makes it a small target to hit. Wagoner county, where Coweta is located, has a relatively high incidence of tornadoes.
Moore, Oklahoma has had 6 tornadoes in the past 10 years: 3 on May 10, 2010; 1 on May 24, 2011; 1 on May 20, 2013; and 1 on May 31, 2013
That would depend on which Oklahoma tornado you are asking about. Oklahoma has had thousands of recorded tornadoes. If the tornado was one that occurred any time in the past 30 years or so, then the answer is almost certainly yes. If the tornado occurred before the 1960s then there probably was no warning.
No. There has not been an increase in the number of tornadoes. In fact, in the past 70 years the number of strong tornadoes in the US has generally decreased. Improvements in technology mean that tornadoes are more likely to be reported when they do occur, resulting in a seeming increase. Scientists are still unsure how climate change will affect tornado activity.
Clayton Kershaw is 29 years old (birthdate: March 19, 1988).
In the past 10 years at least 1420 people have been killed by tornadoes worldwide, with most of those reported deaths occurring in the U.S. The real worldwide figure is likely higher as data is incomplete or missing for some countries.
