A full figure cannot be given. Official record only extend back to 1950, with relatively accurate figures only going back to about 1990. Montana's sparse population means that many tornadoes are likely missed. That said, since official records began in 1950, there have been 389 tornadoes recorded in Montana.

How many tornadoes have there been in Montana in past 100 years?

Unfortunately detailed records of tornadoes only go back as far as 1950, and even then, for the first 30 years or so of that period most weak tornadoes (which account account for the majority of tornadoes) were missed. Since 1950 Montana has recorded 386 tornadoes. However, it may be possible to provide a rough estimate. In the past 30 years, in which data has been recorded more accurately, Montana has experienced 265 tornadoes. If we take the percentage of strong tornadoes from this period (6.8%) and apply it to the data since 1950 we arrive at an estimate of about 700 tornadoes, assuming the percentage of strong tornadoes stays about the same. If the same average annual number of tornadoes occurred over the past 100 years that gives us an estimate of about 1,100 tornadoes. This may sound like a lot, but it works out to an average of only 11 tornadoes per year, most of which are weak, across a very large area. Note that this is a very rough estimate and is based on the assumption that frequency patterns over that past 30 years and 62 years are the same as those over a 100 year period.
