How many tornados per year in Arkansas?

Answer 1

Based on records from 1991-2012 (for which we have accurate tornado records) Arkansas averages 40 tornadoes per year. From all official records, which go back to 1950, Arkansas has had 1,680 recorded tornadoes. This works out to a lower annual average, but prior to the 1990s, a large portion of F0 and F1 tornadoes, which account for about 80% of tornadoes in Arkansas, were missed.

Answer 2

This question belongs in gambling or statistics. The Texas Panhandle is often credited with being the Birthplace of Tornadoe Alley. Oklahoma has had more then its fair share of disasters and Kansas towns have been wiped out on consequetive years. Tornadoes live a life of their own destroying nothing but an outhouse in one county and 10 city blocks a few miles away in the next. On some distant day in the future a Big Onewill hit and cripple a major US City with devestating results. That is inevitable. Like hurricanes and tsunamis they are a force of nature that remains out of control. Modern science can track them and help in providing early warning of their approach. People may or may not listen to the warnings at their own peril but they are available and should be heeded.
