Tornado Alley might have the MOST frequency of tornadoes, but the worst type of tornadoes , I believe,are "waterspouts": tornadoes that form on oceans (yikes! where to hide from that one?)  They occur fairly around warm waters (including Florida).\n\nCheck these chilling pictures out\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Trombe.jpg\nhttp://www.photolib.noaa.gov/historic/nws/images/big/wea00312.jpg

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.

It was the Oklahoma City Tornado, that happened May 3, 1999.  It had the higest wind speeds ever recorded. With a total of 66 tornadoes, it was the most prolific tornado outbreak in Oklahoma history, although not the deadliest. As it passed over Bridge Creek, Oklahoma, around 7:00 pm, a mobile Doppler radar detected winds of 301 +/- 20 mph inside the tornado. (The old record was a 257-268 mph wind measurement from a Doppler radar near Red Rock, Oklahoma, as reported in a formal publication by Bluesetein et al. (1993)).

The peak season starts in March and ends in May.\n\nhttp://www.livescience.com/forcesofnature/050322_tornado_season.html

Fort Worth got a tornado go straight through downtown a few years back.\n\nAccording to this map: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Tornado_Alley.jpg\nFort Worth, Oklahoma City and Tulsa have the highest number of tornadoes observed, with a wide band across the states from Illinois to the DFW area being the "Tornado Alley"\n\nNote that hurricanes near populated areas are more likely to be observed, which accounts for the island style distribution.

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.

over the ocean it is hard to find out how many waterspouts (the correct term of tornadoes over water) form.  Tornadoes in the US turn out to be about 300, hurricanes/ tropical storms worldwide is about 100,  thunderstorms happen each day all over the world so it is hard to keep count.  Even us meteorologist have a hard time trying to predict hot spots for hurricane formation, it was a shock that Hurricane ivan came 8o lat, from the equator, becuase they need what is called the corriolis force to exist, near the equator the force is =0 so even we have a hard time keeping count, as well as predicting them.

Yes, we have floods, but I can't think of any tornadoes of any significance, ever. We also have earthquakes.

You can thank the upper-air weather pattern for all the rain. I'm a storm chaser from Texas and these blocked patterns (upper ridge over the Rockies and upper trough over the Atlantic states) spell disaster for us looking for tornadoes across Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. We constantly stay dry, and you guys constantly stay wet. Until the pattern changes to a more traditional West to East flow and can kick these blocked troughs / ridges out of here, we're in for more of the same.

In the U.S., they're is a place called "Tornado Alley" because most Tornado's happen in that region.  So, where-ever else in the world they occour they must have the same conditions as Tornado Alley.\n\nJust like Hurricanes in the East are called Typhoons.\n\nTornado Alley\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tornado_Alley\n\nTornado Alley Maps and Information\nhttp://www.tornadochaser.net/tornalley.html\n\nPS Tornado's over water are called Water Spouts\n\nWater Spouts\nhttp://www.australiasevereweather.com/techniques/moreadv/funnels.htm\n\nDust Devils (aka Funnels)\nhttp://www.australiasevereweather.com/techniques/moreadv/funnels.htm

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!

Hurricanes, tornadoes, eathquakes, cyclones....stuff like that.

Tornadoes Would be second for me. In an F-5's path very little is left standing or alive if not underground. All other natural disasters even Earthquakes, Hurricanes and Wildfires don't even come close to %100 total destruction in its path, wake, or epicenter. An F-5 may not be a %100 but it is closest of any of the so far mentioned ones.\n\nBut Out of all Natural Disasters I think A supervolcano Eruption May Eclipse all Experienced Natural Disasters!
