The location that has the highest frequency of tornadoes is called tornado ally. Tornado Ally is mostly known as the middle of the United states, which is northern Texas, Oklahoma, eastern Colorado, and the southwestern part of Iowa. Some people also say Ohio and Illinois are are part of it, too.
The reason tornadoes are most frequent there is because, during tornado season, which is April through June, the jet stream and the Gulf of Mexico moisture mix, and results in a severe thunderstorm, which can result in a tornado.

Why does Florida have a lot of tornadoes but is not part of tornado alley?
Florida has a very war, moist climate due to its location surrounded by warm, subtropical water. When air from outside the tropics intrudes it can trigger thunderstorms fueled by the abundant warm, moist air. Given wind shear these storms can produce tornadoes. Hurricanes also occasionally produce tornadoes in Florida. However, Florida is in a region hundreds of miles east of Tornado Alley and separate from it. Additionally, while the concentration of total tornadoes in Florida is comparable to that of Tornado Alley, it receives far fewer strong tornadoes.

When do tornadoes will happen when their number increase because of climate change?
The common idea that a warmer climate means more energy and thus more tornadoes is an oversimplified. Scientists are still not sure how climate change will affect tornadoes as many factors are involved. Most models predict, for example, that the Great Plains, which have a high frequency of tornadoes, will become drier, which could actually decrease tornado frequency. Some have noted that the area of highest tornado frequency may be shifting northward..
