What state is noted for the most Tornados?  I would say Oklahoma.?

Oklahoma has more real tornados per square mile than anywhere else in the world.  Florida has more per square mile, but most are F0 and F1, not enough to do anything.  Texas has more overall, but it's a bigger state.  According to the NOAA, Oklahoma City has had more tornados than any other city.

Worst is Nebraska.  I could write a book on that one on why it is the worst.  Best is Oklahoma or Arkansas.

Yes, but not to the extent that other places have them.  I've lived in New Mexico for 30 years and have only felt one earthquake -- and it was so mild that it caused no damage to anything or anybody.  We do have tornados, but I've never seen one in New Mexico.  With most of the state being at least half a mile above sea level, floods only happen in close vicinity to rivers or streams (we call them arroyos) after a heavy rain.  Smart people just stay away from them; other people drive their cars into them and die.

According to the all knowing Wikipedia: "Tornadoes form in storms all over the world, and though they have been recorded in all fifty U.S. states, they form most famously in a broad area of the American Great Plains, Midwest, as well as South known colloquially as Tornado Alley. In pure number of incidences, the United States reports more tornadoes than any other country, however, the Netherlands is the most tornado-prone country relative to land area."\n\n"The United States experiences by far the most tornadoes of any country, and has also suffered the most intense ones. Tornadoes are common in most states in spring and summer, especially those east of the Rocky Mountains. There is a secondary peak in autumn, especially in the southeastern U.S. where tornadoes also occur more frequently during winter there than in other areas.\n\nTornadoes can occur in the West as well, although they are usually very small and relatively weak. Recently tornadoes have struck the Pacific coast town of Lincoln City, Oregon, in 1996 and downtown Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1999 (see Salt Lake City Tornado). The California Central Valley is an area of some frequency for tornados, albeit of weak intensity. More tornadoes occur in Texas than in any other US state. The state which has the highest number of tornadoes per unit area is Florida, although most of the tornadoes in Florida are weak tornadoes of F0 or F1 intensity. A number of Florida's tornadoes occur along the edge of Hurricanes. The state with the highest number of stronger tornadoes per unit area is Oklahoma. The neighboring state of Kansas is another particularly notorious tornado state. It should be mentioned that states such as Oklahoma and Kansas have much lower population densities than Florida and that tornadoes may go unreported.\n\nOn average, the United States experiences 100,000 thunderstorms each year, resulting in more than 1,200 tornadoes and approximately 50 deaths per year. The deadliest U.S. tornado on record is the March 18, 1925, Tri-State Tornado that went across southeastern Missouri, southern Illinois and southern Indiana, killing 695 people. More than six tornadoes in one day is considered a tornado outbreak. The biggest tornado outbreak on record—with 148 tornadoes, including six F5 and 24 F4 tornadoes—occurred on April 3, 1974. It is dubbed the Super Outbreak. Another such significant storm system was the Palm Sunday Tornado Outbreak, which affected the United States Midwest on April 11, 1965. A series of continuous tornado outbreaks is known as a tornado outbreak sequence, with significant occurrences in May 1917, 1930, 1949, and 2003.\n\nCanada also experiences numerous tornadoes, although fewer than the United States. In Canada, an average of 80 tornadoes occurs annually, killing 2, injuring 20 and causing tens of millions of dollars in damage. The last killer tornado in Canada struck Pine Lake, Alberta, on July 14, 2000, killing 11.\n\nTornadoes do occur throughout the world as well; the most tornado-prone region of the world (outside North America), as measured by number of reported tornadoes per unit area, is the Netherlands, followed by the United Kingdom (especially England). Bangladesh, India, Argentina, Italy, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Estonia, and portions of Uruguay also have pockets of high tornadic activity. Occasional strong tornadoes occur in Russia, France, Spain, Japan, and portions of Paraguay and Brazil. Tornadoes have recently hit South Africa and parts of Pakistan in 2001 as well. Approximately 170 tornadoes are reported per year on land in Europe. Perhaps the most notorious tornado of recent years was that which struck Birmingham, England in July 2005 which destroyed a row of houses though - amazingly - without fatalities."

The land in the central United States is the best breeding ground for the storms which produce tornadoes. The land in the Great Plains is relatively flat, which allows cold dry polar air from Canada to meet warm moist tropical air from the Gulf of Mexico. It's along the front between the two airmasses that most tornadoes form. \n\nMost tornadoes in the United States form in an area called "Tornado Alley". This area includes parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska. Storm chasers travel to this area because of the high concentration of tornadoes. These tornadoes are formed by thunderstorms. Some of the tornadoes in the southern states such as Florida, South Carolina, and Georgia are caused by hurricanes.

In the midwest, the mountains to the west and the Gulf of Mexico to the south produce the layers of cool, dry air and warm, moist air, these coditions are favorable for tornado formation. These conditions happen much less often toward the coasts. Tornados aren't uncommon on the east coast though. In fact, areas hit hard with hurricanes(Gulf Coast) have tornado outbreaks too because the hurricanes produce apt conditions for formation.

Alabama has the most.

Natural disaster...tornado, earthquake, etc.

Ever heard of May 3rd? The F5 tornado that damaged much of Oklahoma was the most awesome and yet most frightening storm I have ever seen.  Total devastation as far as you could see.

I agree. The central portion of the United States is prone to violent outbreaks of tornadoes more often than other parts of the country because of its location.\n\nThe maritime tropical air masses of the Gulf of Mexico bring warm moist air up into the central states while continental polar (cold & dry) air moves down south from Canada.\n\nThe mixture of these two air masses is the perfect ingredient for the formation of violent thunderstorms & mesocyclones.\n\nThe Ohio valley is just one area where tornadoes are more frequent.\n\nTornado Ally includes but is not limited to the following states: Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, & Iowa.\n\nOklahoma has the most tornadoes in the United States per year.\n\nFlorida also has a high incident of violent thunderstorms & tornadoes. This is also because of location. Florida is a peninsula. It is surrounded by water on all sides but one. Where the warm moist air converges from both the Atlantic & Gulf is where you will have the most violent of the storms. This would be central Florida.\n\nFYI: Florida also has the most lightning strikes per year.\n\nTo answer your question directly, it is the location of Ohio in relation to the air masses that that converge over the state. Other places in the world are not so fortunate or unfortunate as it would seem to have the right mix of ingredients. The United States has more tornadoes than any other nation in the world!

Texas - Oklahoma is HUGE. I'd say that is next after those 2.

Tornadoes have been reported in many other countries.  The U.S. just gets more of them than anywhere else; as already mentioned, formation conditions are the most favorable in the world in Tornado Alley.\n\nFor instance, Australia is another country that's believed to be a (distant) second in tornado activity; however, what tornadoes do form are probably underreported because of the sparse population.

I live in Missouri...seen 10 + tornadoes in my lifetime in this area.  Tried chasing storms for a while a few years ago...went into Kansas and Oklahoma and seen most of them when I did that.  As a kid, I think I was 8, there was one that traveled about 1/4 mile from my house and we watched it.  Wild stuff....I love storms, the more destructive, the better.  My apologies to those of you who disagree with that statement, but it's just my opinion.  Don't like it?  Sorry 'bout your luck.

Tornadoes occur on all continents of the world except Antarctica, with the Great Plains of the United States accounting for 70% of the total number.  The area known as "tornado alley" has become a haven for storm chasers and a killing field for deadly twisters.  It stretches up through the central United States through Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Arkansas, and other central states.

There are no F6 tornadoes. F1 is the weakest and F5 is the most violent.\nF0-40-72 mph winds\nF1-73-112 mph winds\nF2-113-157 mph winds\nF3-158-206 mph winds\nF4-207-260 mph winds\nF5-261-318 mph winds\nNo tornadoes have been clocked at higher than 318 mph.\n\n69% of all tornadoes are F0 & 1\n29% of all tornadoes are F2 & 3\n2% of all tornadoes are F4 & 5
