This is impossible to answer accurately. Although tornadoes can be tracked they are often difficult to publicly confirm until after the fact, especially for weak tornadoes. Further complicating the matter, tornadoes usually form and dissipate in a matter of minutes. So an answer given one minute might not be true in the next. As of the afternoon of July 13, 2013 there do not appear to be any tornadoes in the United States right now, but there is some small potential in the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys and the northwestern Great Plains. Data from other countries is not readily available.
Yes. Or at least there have probably been tornadoes for as long has Earth has had approximately the same atmosphere that it has now.
Tornadoes can only form during thunderstorms.
Supercell clouds are usually associated with tornadoes. These are large, powerful thunderstorms with a rotating updraft that can spawn tornadoes under the right conditions.
Tornadoes typically move in the direction of the prevailing winds, but they can also change direction due to the local terrain. Tornadoes can move downhill if the conditions are right, but it is not common.
There have been tornadoes reported in all 50 states in the United States in the year 1950. While some states have a higher frequency of tornadoes, it is possible for tornadoes to occur in any state under the right conditions.
Currently, on November 24, 2010 there are no tornadoes occurring.
yes it does by tornadoes
No such articles exist. Tornadoes do not last long enough for articles to be written about them as they occur.
It is difficult to determine right now as tornadoes are still being counted from a record outbreak. A good estimate, might be that there have been 350 to 400 tornadoes in the U.S. since April 9.
I live in Kansas right now and was born here, I have been here for years. We don't have tornadoes all the time. Kansas averages nearly 100 tornadoes per year, though the number in any given year varies widely, and most of the tornadoes ae in the spring.

Yes. Most tornadoes in the northern hemisphere spin counterclockwise, meaning if you were to watch a piece of debris it would move from left to right. However, most tornadoes in the southern hemisphere spin clockwise, meaning a piece of debris would move from right to left.

Meteorologist's study things that involve weather such as thunder, typhoons, thunderstorms, hurricanes and tornadoes. My class is studying this right now. Hope i helped! :)

Tornadoes require a fairly specific set of conditions to develop. The factors have to come together in just the right way.
