Tornadoes can occur almost anywhere that gets thunderstorms, but they are most common on the central plains of the United States in a region known as Tornado Alley. The highest tornado activity can be found in central Oklahoma.

Tornadoes occur most often in the central United States, a region known as Tornado Alley which extends from Texas, northward to northern Iowa, Other states that are hit hard each year are Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana in what is known as Dixie Alley.

Tornadoes can strike just about anywhere in the U.S. but the highest risk is on the Great Plains and in the South.
