thunderstorms happen all the time all over the place...there are no two that have significantly affected anything
Two atmospheric conditions required to produce thunderstorms are instability, which allows warm air to rise rapidly, and moisture, which provides the necessary fuel for cloud formation and storm development. When these conditions are met, thunderstorms are more likely to form and produce lightning, thunder, and heavy rainfall.
Anchorage, Alaska has the fewest thunderstorms per year in the United States, averaging only about five thunderstorm days annually.
Thunderstorm frequency varies according to the location. Hot and humid climates experience thunderstorm activity at a far higher rate than deserts or cold climates. The map at the related link below shows where thunderstorms occur worldwide and their frequency.
D. July is the month when thunderstorms are most likely to occur in the US, especially in regions like the Midwest and Southeast where warm temperatures create the conditions for intense convection and thunderstorm development.
Two dangers associated with tornadoes are extreme winds capable of causing significant damage to buildings and structures, as well as flying debris that can result in injury or death. Tornadoes can also create powerful thunderstorms, lightning, and flash flooding in their vicinity, posing additional hazards to those in the affected area.
Individual thunderstorms are hard to predict. However, we are pretty good at predicting what regions will likely be affected by thunderstorms on a given day.
tornadoes.
they occur everywhere
Thunderstorms can affect various regions across the United States, particularly in the southeastern and central parts, where warm, moist air often leads to severe weather. The Gulf Coast and the Great Plains, including states like Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas, are particularly prone to intense thunderstorms and tornadoes. However, thunderstorms can occur in almost any area, including the Midwest and Northeast, especially during the warmer months. Coastal regions may also experience thunderstorms, often accompanied by heavy rain and strong winds.

No. This is closer to the number of thunderstorms that hit the U.S. in a year.
An isolated thunderstorm is a storm that only effects 10 percent of a given area where it forms. That means that 90 percent of the area will be clear. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yes it does
about 10,000
No. Tornadoes are possible just about everywhere there are thunderstorms.
Everywhere that there are thunderstorms.
Over 1 million square miles of the US was affected by the massive 'heat dome' of temps between 90F to 115F on Thurs 21 July 2011, per weather newscasters on the morning of July 21, 2011. The area extended from the Pacific Coast to the Atlantic Coast and affected 32 US States. The 'heat dome' is expected to follow normal front air currents as it progresses from the West to the East, and is expected to last several more days. Thunderstorms and tornadoes are always a possibility each day with heat indexes being so high, and thunderstorms are predicted for next week as well.
