The majority of recorded tornadoes in the world occur in the United States. This is somewhat misleading, however. The actual number of tornadoes occuring outside the United States is probably much higher than records indicate. Many countries do not conduct surveys or keep detailed records, so many of the less damaging tornadoes and tornadoes that occur in sparsely populated areas are never recorded. It is quite possible that thousands of tornadoes go undocumented every year.
