Yes. The region is so prone to tornadoes that it is sometimes called Tornado Alley.
Tornadoes can happen in many parts of the world, but they are most common in the central United States. This region is known as "Tornado Alley" due to the high frequency of tornadoes that occur there. Other areas prone to tornadoes include parts of South America, Southeast Asia, and Australia.
Australia has about 80 tornadoes every year.
Actually, tornadoes are not uncommon in Australia. which actually takes 3rd place in annual number of tornadoes, after the United States and Canada. However, about 80% of tornadoes, possibly higher in Australia, are only strong enough to cause mild to moderate damage.
Tornadoes can happen anywhere - they're usually formed from severe thunderstorms.
Oklahoma is most prone to tornadoes in the months of April, May, and June.
Australia is particularly prone to bushfires, floods, droughts and tropical cyclones. Other natural disasters include tornadoes, earthquakes and landslides.
New Orleans is an area of the United States prone to a couple of different natural disasters. The area is prone to hurricanes and tornadoes.
Tornadoes do not have names. Australia has had many tornadoes, too many to list here.
A tornado prone area has a relatively high incidence of tornadoes.
Yes. Alabama is a tornado prone state and has a history of very violent tornadoes.
Firewhirls, as they are properly called, are a product of intense fire and are therefore most common in areas prone to large wildfires such as California and parts of Australia.
Tornado prone areas of the world include the U.S. between the Rockies and the Appalachians, India and Bangladesh, Australia, South Africa, and Argentina. It should eb noted, though that tornadoes can happen almost anywhere.

Tornado Alley is the most common area that is prone to tornadoes. Tornadoes normally show up there because the land is so dry, if I remember correctly.
Many will say that Australia does not have tornadoes, but this is completely wrong. It is true that Australia is more prone to cyclones (the equivalent of hurricanes and typhoons) rather than tornadoes. However, tornado-like conditions may develop with thunderstorms, and while they're not usually officially recognised as "tornadoes" and are far less destructive than their northern hemisphere equivalents, mini-tornadoes DO occur in Australia. Tornado-like conditions have been reported during storms in each of the states, from sub-tropical Queensland down to dry South Australia. In January 2013, a series of tornadoes ripped through southeast Queensland, badly damaging property in the towns of Burnett Heads, Bargara and Bundaberg. Over a period of more than 90 years, since 1918, there have been an estimated 55 deaths from tornadoes in Australia.
