Tornadoes have been happening from the beginning from our planet's birth. Since then we have not been able to record the amount because there were no intelligent human life, no recorded written language, and there were tornadoes in areas with no inhabitants. We do not have the exact number of tornadoes that have occurred on this planet. Yet we do have the number of tornadoes average per year in different countries.
The U.S. has 1,200 to 1,300 recorded tornadoes in an average year.
