While the actual number of tornadoes that occur each year can't be measured, the United States sees an average of 1,000 tornadoes in a year. Most tornadoes hit between 4 and 9 pm in the evening.
No they mostly strike the US but lightning strikes everywhere
The area with the highest tornado frequency in the U.S. is Tornado Alley. A region stretching across the Great Plains from Texas to South Dakota and Iowa. Another tornado hot spot is in Florida.
No. There has not been an increase in the number of tornadoes. In fact, in the past 70 years the number of strong tornadoes in the US has generally decreased. Improvements in technology mean that tornadoes are more likely to be reported when they do occur, resulting in a seeming increase. Scientists are still unsure how climate change will affect tornado activity.
There is none. All 50 states have had tornadoes. Even Alaska has had 4.
I'm unable to provide real-time updates on specific recent events. Tornadoes can occur in various locations around the world, primarily in Tornado Alley in the central US but they can also occur in other regions. I recommend checking official weather sources or news outlets for the most up-to-date information on recent tornado occurrences.
On average 1200 annually.
No, tornadoes can occur in many countries around the world. The United States experiences the most tornadoes annually, but other countries like Canada, Argentina, Bangladesh, and Australia also have tornadoes.
Tornado Alley.
Tornadoes occur in many areas around the world by no region experiences more tornadoes than the central United States. No one really knows for sure how many there are in the US each year, but it is estimated that over 1,000 tornadoes occur each year in the US, although many go undetected and unreported.
Tornadoes occur in other countries besides the US. However, the US heartland has ideal conditions for tornadoes.
Generally, the highest number of tornadoes in the U.S. occur on the Great Plains, so much so that the region is sometimes called Tornado Alley. The region experiences as many as 800 tornadoes per year.
No. Tornadoes can occur almost anywhere that gets thunderstorms.
