Tornadoes have occurred in all 50 U.S. states. In the U.S. tornadoes are generally most common and strongest in the central and southeastern regions. The primary reasons is that cold fronts meeting warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico frequently trigger strong thunderstorms. Wind shear then gives these storms the rotation they need to produce tornadoes.
