The majority of tornadoes occur in a region known as Tornado Alley in the central United States, which includes parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, and South Dakota. This area is prone to severe thunderstorms that can produce tornadoes due to the clash of warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and cool, dry air from the Rockies.
