Overall it would probably be Oklahoma. For its size Oklahoma probably has the most violent tornadoes and has had a few of the deadliest and most destructive.
It should be noted, though that Mississippi and Missouri have had a history of exceptionally deadly tornadoes, though such violent tornadoes visit those states less frequently.

∙ 10y agoThat would most likely be Missouri. This state was struck by three of the 10 deadliest tornadoes in U.S. history.
First came the St. Louis tornado of 1896 which killed at least 255 people, making it the third deadliest tornado in U.S.history. however, while the tornado first formed in Missouri many of the deaths took place in Illinois.
Next came the Tri-State tornado of 1925. This tornado killed 695 people, making it the deadliest in U.S. history. However, even though it started in Missouri relatively few of the deaths took place there; most were in Illinois and a fair number were in Indiana.
Finally came the Joplin tornado of 2011. This tornado killed 158 people, making it the seventh deadliest tornado in U.S. history. Unlike the other two tornadoes the entire track of this tornado was within the state of Missouri and all deaths were in Joplin.
Mississippi also deserves mention, however as it bore the brunt of the nation's second deadliest tornado; the great Natchez tornado of 1840, which killed at least 317 people. Mississippi also has the highest number of tornado deaths per capita.
