Yes the majority of tornadoes happen in tornado alley. However it is not because tornado alley is generally flatter then the rest of the US. It has to do with the warm air from the Gulf of Mexico meeting the cold air from Canada in that region that causes tornadoes to mainly form there.

How many tornadoes happen in the UK?

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.

Where do Tornadoes Normally Happen?

The United States gets the most tornados than any other country, nearly four times more than Europe, excluding the small stuff. This is most due to the fact that there aren't any major east to west mountain ranges to impede a torndadoes progress, like other countries and continents have in their topography. America is surrounded by oceans and the Gulf of Mexico, all of which are liable to have storms of all kinds, especially when the Atlantic tagteams with the Gulf, which results in a Katrina.
