Since official records began in 1950 through 2014 Tennessee has had 1,148 recorded tornadoes. The actual number of tornadoes in the period is probably much higher as up until the 1980s most of the weaker tornadoes were missed. More recent records suggest that Tennessee gets about 30 tornadoes in an average year.

Can you predict if a tornado is about to happen?

Not exactly. If a tornado is imminent then Doppler radar will probably detect the rotation wand a warning will be issued that a tornado may soon form. Often, especially with areas of major damage, the tornado has already been on the ground for at least a few minutes and moves into the area. Meteorologists can often detect the signature of a tornado on radar will announce where the tornado is and where it is going.
