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.
