The highest risk for tornadoes is on the Great Plains, particularly in an area covering parts of Kansas and Oklahoma. That part of the U.S. has the highest incidence of strong and violent (EF2 to EF5) tornadoes.

States at the highest risk for tornadoes include Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, and Missouri. Florida sees a number of tornadoes comparable to these states, but the risk is less because the tornadoes aren't as strong.
