Where do tornadoes occur most?

The main area of the United States in which significant tornadoes occur most often is in an L-shaped region called Tornado Alley. Tornado Alley includes parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, eastern Colorado and western Iowa, and is characterized by a high frequency of strong and violent tornadoes and a relatively consistent season from year to year. In addition, this area has a consistent season each year – from April through mid-June, with the most tornadoes normally occurring in May. These two facts – the high frequency of strong and violent tornadoes and the relative consistency of the season from year to year from north Texas up into western Iowa – provide a natural way to define Tornado Alley. Most people living in Tornado Alley are aware of the many tornadoes that occur their.
