>>No, but they have a "Monsoon Season" each July, August and September, that is accompanied by deadly lightening, and sometimes large hail.<<

In fact, Phoenix Arizona can get tornadoes. A tornado is produced by specific storm cells that have rotating wind patterns, and though they are rare in some places, they can still occur there. I'm no expert, but I live in Phoenix and am sitting in my bathroom because we are under a tornado warning right now (and remember a warning means there really is something)!

It doesn't. Arizona has a low incidence of tornadoes as the dry climate inhibits the development of severe thunderstorms.

It is in the Texas Panhandle, which is a tornado-prone region, so the city is vulnerable and has been hit a fair number of times.
