About 25% of reocrded tornadoes take place outside the United States. However, the actual percentage is probably much higher. The United States is one of only a few countries that keeps detailed tornado records. As a result, there a likely hundreds, possibly thousands of tornadoes that occur every year outside the U.S. that are never recorded.

Do 75 percent of tornadoes form in the US of America?

75 percent of recorded tornadoes happen in the U.S. The U.S. probably has a much smaller percentage of the world's actual tornado count. This is because the U.S. keeps detailed records on the tornadoes that occur within its borders. Many other countries do not keep such records, and often only the most significant tornadoes are reported.

No. The reality is that 75% of Earth's recorded tornadoes occur in the United States. The United States is one of few countries to actively monitor and survey tornadoes within its borders, so most tornadoes that strike the U.S. are recorded. In most other countries the majority of tornadoes likely never get recorded, resulting in highly inaccurate statistics.
