Global records are not available and only U.S. records can easily be found. Those records show 1,103 tornadoes for the U.S.
Since official records began in 1950 the U.S. has recorded approximately 61,000 tornadoes. Records prior to that are more difficult to track down. Similarly, records for other countries are incomplete.
Tornadoes were not invented; they are a natural phenomenon.
Yes. In some cases the absence of tornado records is due to a lack of documentation rather than a lack of tornadoes. In other cases an area may experience tornadoes so infrequently that none have occurred since before people were around to document them. If a place has little record of tornadoes, that still means tornadoes have been recorded in that area.
Tornadoes have been happening from the beginning from our planet's birth. Since then we have not been able to record the amount because there were no intelligent human life, no recorded written language, and there were tornadoes in areas with no inhabitants. We do not have the exact number of tornadoes that have occurred on this planet. Yet we do have the number of tornadoes average per year in different countries.
