Best Answer

Tornadoes are generally hard to find because they are rare. In The United States, about 1200 tornadoes touch down in an average year. That may seem like a lot until you realize how large of an area they are spread over. Additionally, much of the activity occurs in remote rural areas that are inconvenient to get simply because of the long driving distances. Even when tornadoes do occur, they are not always highly visible. Many are obscured by rain.
