Tornadoes are relatively rare west of the Rockies largely due to the dry climate, which is not very good for producing the violent thunderstorms that bring tornadoes.
Yes, India does experience tornadoes, although they are relatively rare compared to countries like the United States. Tornadoes in India are most common in the states of West Bengal, Bihar, and Uttar Pradesh during the late spring and early autumn.
They don't. Tornadoes do occur in New York, but they are relatively rare. The regions cool climate and less-than ideal setup of wind shear and instability means that tornadoes, especially strong ones, don't occur often.
They don't. The US has 40 times the number of tornadoes that England has, and they tend to be much more intense- less than 10% of English tornadoes are strong, 42% of US tornadoes are strong storms.
There were 1424 confirmed tornadoes in the U.S. in 1998, making it an active year.
75 percent of recorded tornadoes happen in the U.S. The U.S. probably has a much smaller percentage of the world's actual tornado count. This is because the U.S. keeps detailed records on the tornadoes that occur within its borders. Many other countries do not keep such records, and often only the most significant tornadoes are reported.
Most tornadoes in the U.S. happen in spring and early summer.
Yes. The U.S. gets tornadoes every year, but sometimes goes a few years without getting any hurricanes.
All U.S. states have had at least a few tornadoes.
Tornadoes have ocurred in all 50 U.S. states.
No. Tornadoes can occur almost anywhere that gets thunderstorms.

Yes. The United States gets more tornadoes than any other country.
Tornadoes can occur just about anywhere in the U.S. but they are most common on the Great Plains.
It varies, but in an average year, the U.S. gets between 1,200 and 1,300 tornadoes.
It is called Tornado Alley.
Tornadoes have occurred in all 50 states. However. Most tornadoes happen in or near the area known as tornado alley, which extends north from Texas to South Dakota and includes parts of some adjacent states.
The majority of UK tornadoes are not recorded. So most statistics on the number of recorded tornadoes in the UK are usually around 70. Most UK tornadoes happen in the countryside (so don't get noticed) and are very small (usually). It is common belief that more tornadoes happen in the UK than in the US (tornado ally included) - Although US tornadoes are way bigger and stronger than those in the UK and so more are likely to be noticed and therefore recorded. Tornadoes in the UK usually happen in the summer when the weather conditions are right.
