It varies widely, but the average is between 1,200 and 1,300.
There were 1132 recorded tornadoes in the U.S. in 1991.
There were 789 recorded tornadoes in the U.S. in 1978. Note however that at this point in history a significant portion of weak tornadoes were missed and most tornadoes are weak. The actual number of tornadoes was probably significantly higher than this figure.
There were 782 recorded tornadoes in the U.S. in 1981. Note however that at this point in history a significant portion of weak tornadoes were missed and most tornadoes are weak. The actual number of tornadoes was probably significantly higher than this figure.
Since records began in 1950 there have bee 56501 confirmed tornadoes in the U.S. the actual number of tornadoes is probably much higher as in the early half of this period the majority of weak tornadoes (which account for 89% of recorded tornadoes today) were missed.
There were 616 recorded tornadoes in the U.S. in 1960. Note however that at this point in history the majority of weak tornadoes were missed, and most tornadoes are weak. The actual number of tornadoes was probably much higher than this figure, possibly more than double.
Michigan averages about 15 tornadoes per year, though the number varies from year to year.
It is unknown as most countries to not keep records of their tornadoes. The United States averages between 1,200 and 1,300 tornadoes per year.

The number of tornadoes that occur worldwide is not known as most countries do not keep records of their tornadoes. Annually there are at least 1800 tornadoes recorded worldwide, but the number of actual tornadoes is much higher, perhaps several times higher.
Approximately than 1000 tornadoes touch down in the United States each year on average.
Yes. Many funnel clouds never touch down.
Worldwide statistics are not available as most countries do not keep records and some of those that do do not have them easily accessible. The U.S. where the greatest portion of tornadoes occur experienced 1075 tornadoes in 2000.
Official records indicate 75 to 80 percent of the world's tornadoes occur in the U.S. This statistic, however, is highly inaccurate as it only counts recorded tornadoes. The U.S. portion of the world's tornadoes is probably much smaller. The United States is a wealthy nation with plenty of resources to track down almost every tornado that touches down within its borders, including minor ones that do no more than topple a few trees. Many other countries do not conduct tornado surveys, resulting an many, if not most tornadoes going unrecorded. Tornadoes that touch down in very remote areas are also unlikely to be recorded.
24 tornadoes touched down in Minnesota in 2009.
Australia has about 80 tornadoes every year.
Every state has had at least a few weak tornadoes.
Tornadoes vary greatly in severity. Many tornado touch down in open fields and never cause any damage. At the other end, some tornadoes destroy entire towns and kill dozens of people.
