Does Texas have the most tornadoes?
The reason for Texas having so many tornadoes, (just like Oklahoma, Kansas......) is because those states are in a region that is prone to collisions of 3 air masses: a warm moist one from the Gulf of Mexico (which is essentially the "fuel" for the storms) a cool air mass from Canada, and a dry air mass from the Rockies. When these winds collide they create thunderstorms. Then wind shear, another condition common over the region in which wind speed and direction change with altitude, sets any storms rotating. Finally, a layer of stable air called a cap allows only the strongest storm to develop, this allows these strong storms to gain strength without having to compete with weaker storms for energy.

north/south route 285, or east/west route 652
shouldn't blink if they want to see it. Small

of vortex hunters.
Orla in Spanish means border or fringe,

concentric rings fill the quadrant. In the NE
and SW sections are lesser impressions, but
