Tornadoes occur just about everywhere, but the South is especially prone to tornadoes due to its position near the Gulf of Mexico. This vast, warm body of water provides plentiful warm, moist air that is the fuel of thunderstorms. At the same time, its position in the mid-latitudes ensure that fronts carry cooler air from further north will come through to trigger those storms. Thunderstorms that form along fronts are usually stronger than those that simple air mass thunderstorms. Wind shear sets these storms rotating, allowing them to produce tornadoes.
