Iowa, Nebraska and North and South Dakota are places that have lots of tornadoes and that could have been settings for "The Wizard of Oz."
Specifically, the bleak life of the Kansas sequences in "The Wizard of Oz" is found in select parts of all of the above-mentioned states. Tornadoes also occur in the Great Plains and Midwestern states mentioned previously. But they take place more often in Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska than either of the Dakotas.

Kansas, just like Dorothy.
The state is Kansas is located in America. It is well-known for thunder storms and tornadoes. The film the Wizard of Oz featured a tornado in Kansas.
Unfortunately yes. Tornadoes are a routine event wherever the terrain is flat enough, which is most of the midwestern USA; Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri and Illinois. Parts of Kansas and Missouri are nicknamed "Tornado Alley" for the frequency of tornadoes. Many farms in Kansas even have an underground tornado shelter; I'm sure you've seen the movie "The Wizard of Oz"?
Iowa, Nebraska, and North and South Dakota are possibilities as locations of frequent tornadoes and therefore as settings for "The Wizard of Oz."Specifically, the original 1900 book edition and the beloved 1939 film version required a setting that reflected the bleak, harsh life of farmers subject to the vagaries of weather. The Great Plains states of Nebraska and of both Dakotas as well as the Midwestern state of Iowa fit the bill. But of the four possibilities, Iowa and Nebraska could be considered the best candidates since they average about the same yearly number of cyclones as Kansas whereas the frequency is a bit less in the Dakotas.

That the weather was inhospitable and that the people had to work very hard is what the movie "The Wizard of Oz" shows us about Kansas during the 1930s.Specifically, the beloved 1939 movie version of the original 1900 book edition is set in the plains of Kansas. There are frequent dust storms and tornadoes, and the farmland is not among the best. Farmers have to work hard just to survive.
Oz is where Dorothy Gale and her pet dog Toto are carried off to in "The Wizard of Oz."Specifically, Dorothy and Toto live with Dorothy's Uncle Henry and Aunt Em in Kansas. Kansas is prone to tornadoes, and one strikes while Dorothy is outside. Dorothy manages to get inside, but she and Toto do not get to the trap door down to the cellar in time. They therefore are carried away when the tornado uproots the Gale farmhouse, which it takes over the rainbow and into the beautiful, enchanted, magical lands of Oz.
