There is no real evidence that the number of cyclones or tornadoes is increasing outside of normal fluctuation. The apparent number has increased as advanced technology has made us better able to detect and identify storms, and fast communications means we hear about more events sooner.

Tornadoes don't have names, hurricanes do, and Iowa does not get hurricanes. Tornadoes are referred to by where they hit in most cases. For example, one of the worst tornadoes to hit Iowa in recent years was the Parkersburg tornado, which destroyed part of the town of Parkersburg.


Could any state end up getting a tornado from a hurricane?

Yes. It it fairly common for hurricanes to produce tornadoes when they make landfall. Therefore, any state that can get a hurricane could get a hurricane-spawned tornado. Some states, notably in the far northwest, will rarely if ever be affected by either tropical cyclones or by tornadoes, because the weather systems there are not conducive to their formation. The state of Alaska has had only 2 confirmed tornadoes over the last 65 years and only post-tropical cyclones.


Are tornadoes increasing?

There is no way of saying for certain. The apparent increase in tornado activity over the past 60 or so years is due largely to our improved ability to detect and confirm weaker tornadoes. U.S. statistics for stronger tornadoes show no overall increase in activity.
