There have been at least 6,717 confirmed tornadoes in the U.S. in the past 5 years. This number may actually be higher as the figures for April through June of 2011 are still preliminary.
Statistics world wide are not available as many countries to not keep records of their tornadoes, but tornadoes, some of them deadly, have occurred in almost all parts of the world and on every continent except Antarctica.
