No. The longest-lived tornado on record lasted about 3.5 hours. Tornadoes that last for more than an hour are rare.
Yes in every state. Not all states have violent tornadoes but all states have reported at least a few weak tornadoes, even Alaska and Hawaii.
Yes, tornadoes can occur in England, but they are relatively rare compared to tornadoes in other parts of the world like the United States. England experiences about 30 tornadoes per year on average, but they are generally weaker and cause less damage than tornadoes in other regions.
There is none. All 50 states have had tornadoes. Even Alaska has had 4.
Tornadoes are very likely to form in the United States and destroy property there frequently during the spring and summer months. One section of the central United States is even nicknamed Tornado Alley due to the high number of tornadoes that move through there.
Tornadoes can occur almost anywhere in the world that gets thunderstorms, however, there are hotspots that get more tornadoes than other places. The greatest hot spot is Tornado Alley on the Great Plains of the U.S. which includes Kansas and a few neighboring states. Other tornado hot spots can be found in Florida, Bangladesh, South Africa, and Australia.
It varies widely. Tornado distribution is not even throughout the year and many days go without any tornadoes. The most tornadoes recorded in 1 day is 207 on April 27, 2011. Many tornadoes occur in outbreaks, like this, only smaller. However, for the U.S. given that it has about 1,200 tornadoes in an average year and each year has 365 days, the works out to a mean 3 to 4 tornadoes per day
Depends on where you are, whether you want to know how many tornadoes have hit the United States, or a single state, or even somewhere else.
