Where do tornadoes usually hit?
Most of the big tornadoes usually are located in the Central United States called the Tornado Alley. Tornadoes form at tornado alley, because the polar cold air meets the tropical warm air where the atmosphere is needed to be unstable in that area. The most severe tornadoes occur before the less severe tornadoes that forms in May. Tornadoes usually hit the southern states closest to the Gulf of Mexico where like Texas that get polar cold sometimes in May and the tropical heat from the coast to form the tornadoes in the Tornado alley. These states usually get a bigger chance of getting tornadoes , Texas, Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, and Missouri. In the season of tornadoes doesn't have a starting or a ending date it can occurs yearly. Sometimes tornadoes can occur across on the other side of the United States that include Japan, United Kingdom, and South Africa. In South America like Uraguay,but another country not in South America is called Australia. Doesn't matter what places that are listed there is always going to have major damages from the tornadoes.

I hate living on tornado ally because we always have to be alert of tornados. Here in Texas the weather is so unpredictable that you never know what will happen. It gets to the point where we think its normal to have drought warnings and storm warnings.
