Why do tornadoes happen in Central America?
The central plains of the United States have a rather unique climatic arrangement. Warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico can collide with cold air from Canada and/or dry air from the Rockies. These conditions can create very powerful thunderstorms.
Additionally, this region experiences a lot of strong wind shear which gives the storms the rotation they need to produce tornadoes.
These factors combine to make the central United State the most tornado prone region in the world.
