Simply put, Texas is bigger. Oklahoma actually has a higher concentration of tornadoes, but Texas is several times the size of Oklahoma, so there is more area for tornadoes to hit.
No, Texas typically experiences more tornadoes than Tennessee. Texas has a larger land area and is located in Tornado Alley, a region known for frequent tornado activity, making it more prone to tornadoes compared to Tennessee.
It is Texas that records the most tornadoes, with an average total of about 135 a year. Kansas has the most tornadoes per area (or per square mile). Recall that Texas has a lot more area than the other states in tornado alley.
Generally they are said to be Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. However Tornadoes Alley is often represented as including parts of more than those 3 states, including Nebraska, South Dakota, Iowa, and parts of Colorado and Missouri.
Mostly in the south but they can happen pretty much anywhere if the weather is right. But mostly in Kansas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri, Mississippi, Louisiana. Tornadoes can occur in the southern coastal region as a result of hurricanes that have hit shore and the weather continues to progress northward.
Tornadoes occur more. While an active year might see a few dozen hurricane-strength tropical cyclones in a year, the United States alone documents an averages of more than 1,200 tornadoes annually.
Simply put, Texas is much bigger, and therefore has more areas for tornadoes to hit.
No, that title goes to Texas. Kansas comes in third place after Texas and Oklahoma.
Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas share in this distinction. More states probably qualify, as during this time period, most F0 and F1 intensity tornadoes were not recorded.
Oklahoma gets more tornadoes. It averages 64 tornadoes per year, far greater than Georgia's average of 31.
Most days Oklahoma does not get any tornadoes. However, Oklahoma usually has at least a few days each year with several tornadoes, and occasionally more. In some outbreaks Oklahoma has experienced more than 50 tornadoes in one day.
Texas annually has more tornadoes than any other state, followed by Oklahoma. However, the statistics are misleading, since Texas is much larger than its neighboring states. Florida has the highest number of tornadoes per 10,000 square miles each year.

Definitely. In fact, Texas has the highest average number of tornadoes of any state in the U.S...This is due partially from it's large size (Oklahoma averages the highest number of tornadoes per square mile, but is a much smaller size than Texas)...Nevertheless, tornadoes are very common in Texas (Especially the northern and eastern parts of Texas)...
Yes. Texas gets more tornadoes than any other state. Tornadoes have been recorded in all parts of Texas.
