I meteorology, the scientific study of weather, convergence is wheere wind comes together in an are from the surroundings. When this happens at ground level, the air is forced to rise. This is related to tornadoes in two ways. Convergence on the large and medium-sized scales of weather can lead to the formation of thunderstorms. Under the right conditions, these thunderstorms may spawn tornadoes. Second, air converges inside a tornado, as the intense low pressure draws it inward.

What are the 3 general categories of tornadoes?
Tornadoes are sometimes divided into "weak" tornadoes "strong" and "violent" tornadoes. Weak tornadoes are those rated EF0 and EF1. Most tornadoes are weak. Strong tornadoes are those rated EF2 and EF3. Violent tornadoes are those rated EF4 and EF5. They are the rarest of tornadoes, only about 1% of tornadoes are this strong.
Why do tornadoes always hit the same place?
Tornadoes do not always hit the same places. However tornadoes, especially the strong ones that are likely to become major new items are more common in certain regions due to climatic reasons. The central and southern United States experience a convergence of warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico, dry air from the Rockies, cool air from Canada combined with wind shear and an inversion cap. This leads to powerful, rotating thunderstorms called supercells, which produce the majority of tornadoes. Similar conditions can occur elsewhere, but not as often. Reporting is also a factor. The United States is the only developed nation that experiences violent tornadoes on a regular basis. Other, less developed nations also have violent tornadoes, but do not conduct surveys or keep extensive records.

Why does Florida have over 6 tornadoes a year?
Most states have more than 6 tornadoes per year. Weak tornadoes are more common than most people think. Florida averages about 65 tornadoes per year. This is due to Florida's somewhat unique position. Over the Florida peninsula warm, moist air masses converge. This convergence, combined with intrusions of cooler air from further north means the Florida very frequently gets thunderstorms. In some cases these can spawn tornadoes.
