December has the least number of tornadoes, closely followed by January
Yes. There was at least one weak tornado in Houston in 2000.
12. one every month
Not in the blizzard itself, no. In some cases the same storm system can produce tornadoes in one area blizzard conditions in another, but these areas will remain separate from one another. For a northern hemisphere system, blizzard conditions are most likely to occur in the northwestern part of the storm while tornadoes and thunderstorms will more likely occur in the southeastern portion.
Far more than that actually. If six or more tornadoes occur in one storm system within a day it is called a tornado outbreak. Some tornado outbreaks will produce several dozen tornadoes in a day. Currently the record is held by April 27, 2011, in which over 200 tornadoes touched down in 24 hours. The outbreak as a whole lasted 4 days and produced over 350 tornadoes.
VERY INFREQUENTLY. A Blue Moon is said to occur , when two full Moons occur in one calendar month. On say dates 1st of the month and 28th of the same month.
Yes. At least one tornado that struck Australia is believed to have reached F5 intensity.
In the United States the average peak in tornado activity is in May. However, activity and its timing varies from one year to the next. The most active month on record, by far, was April 2011 with over 750 confirmed tornadoes.
1) Indiana lies in a tornado-prone region. + 2) Weather is unpredictable. + 3) Tornadoes can occur in ALL 12 months of the year. = YES, it is QUITE likely that one or more tornadoes will visit Indiana in February of ANY given year. Tornadoes do occur in Indiana in February, though they are rather rare at that time of year, and it is inevitable that it will happen again.
Isolated tornadoes are tornadoes that do not occur in association with an outbreak. The tornado is generally the only one produced by that weather system or one of only a few scattered ones.
A Friday the 13th can occur in any month of a year. Every month will have one at some point or another. Each year there is at least one and at most three.
Alabama averages about 45 tornadoes per year, but it varies from one year to the next.
The record high for tornadoes in one month (for the U.S.) is 758 set in April of 2011. The record low is 1 tornado, set in February of 2010.
It you want to get very technical, they occur in the U.S. and Canada, as these are the only two countries that use the Enhanced Fujita scale. However, if you consider tornadoes of equivalent intensity (F3 on the Fujita scale, T6 and T7 on the TORRO scale), they can occur in most areas that have a temperate to tropical climate that is not arid. In the U.S. all but six of the states have had at least one F3 or EF3 tornado since 1950. Many countries have tornadoes that go unrated that are almost certainly of EF3 intensity, if not higher. The majority of EF3 and stronger tornadoes occur in the U.S.
Tornadoes can occur almost anywhere that thunderstorms occur, but are more common in some areas. Hot spots include the central United States, Southern Canada, India and Bangladesh, Argentina, Australia, and South Africa.
Yes, there was one weak tornado confirmed in Seattle in June of 2001, Tornadoes are rate in western Washington, though.
Yes. Tornadoes occur on all continents except Antarctica. The world's deadliest tornado was one that struck Bangladesh in 1989.
It takes about one month for the cycle to occur, and that's why we have a full moon about every month.
