When and where do tornadoes strike?

Tornadoes can strike at any time of the year, but they are most common in the spring and summer months. They primarily occur in a region known as Tornado Alley, which includes parts of the central United States like Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska. However, tornadoes can happen in other parts of the world as well, in countries like Canada, Argentina, and Bangladesh.


What percentage of the world's tornadoes occur in the US?

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.


Do tornadoes strike big cities?

Yes, tornadoes can strike big cities. While less common than in rural areas, tornadoes have been known to hit major cities like Oklahoma City and Dallas. Urban areas may experience less frequent tornadoes due to the presence of buildings and infrastructure, but they are not immune to tornado activity.


What time of year does a tornado strike?

Tornadoes can occur at any time of year, but are most common in the spring and early summer. The peak tornado season in the southern states of the US is in the spring, while in the northern states it is typically in the summer.


Will there be a tornado in WV?

It is impossible to predict with certainty if a tornado will occur in a specific location, including West Virginia. Tornadoes can develop quickly and are influenced by many factors, so it's important to stay updated with local weather alerts and have a plan in place for severe weather.
