No one could answer that because tornadoes have been destroying the world over before the dinosaurs.
Tornadoes occur when strong updrafts and wind shear create a rotating column of air within a thunderstorm. These rotating columns can then touch the ground and cause the characteristic funnel cloud associated with tornadoes. Tornadoes are most common in the central United States, known as Tornado Alley, but can occur in many regions around the world.
No, tornadoes can occur in many countries around the world. The United States experiences the most tornadoes annually, but other countries like Canada, Argentina, Bangladesh, and Australia also have tornadoes.
About 75% of recorded tornadoes strike the United States. This is misleading however, as many countries do not keep records of their tornadoes. The actual number of tornadoes outside the U.S. is not known.
It is impossible to say with any certainty. In an average year, there are about 1,800 tornadoes recorded worldwide, most of them in the United States. The true number of tornadoes is probably several times higher. Most countries do not conduct storm surveys and so the majority of the world's tornadoes go unrecorded.
Yes, tornadoes can occur in many parts of the world, but they are most common in the United States. They have also been reported in other countries such as Canada, Australia, Argentina, and Bangladesh. The frequency and intensity of tornadoes can vary depending on the region and weather conditions.
Records for the whole world are not available. The U.S. had 1,339 recorded tornadoes that year.
There have been many F5 tornadoes. See the link below for a list.

That is not known. There are about 1600 tornadoes recorded worldwide on average. However, the real number is almost certainly much higher as many countries do not keep records of their tornadoes.
There were 102 tornadoes in Oklahoma in 2010.
Statistics for the whole world are not available. But a preliminary count shows 811 tornadoes hitting the U.S. in 2013, which is unusually low.
There were 934 tornadoes recorded in the U.S. in 2002.
There were 21 recorded tornadoes in Georgia in 2006.
There were 115 recorded tornadoes in Texas in 2012.
There were 48 recorded tornadoes in Illinois in 2010.
There were 1,103 recorded tornadoes in the U.S. in 2006.
No, tornadoes can occur in many parts of the world where there are the right atmospheric conditions. However, the frequency and intensity of tornadoes are highest in North America, particularly in the central United States.
