Which state averages the
most tornadoes in a given year?
A. Texas
B. Kansas
C. Florida
D. Illinois
Answer to question from
July 14th:
The presence of any of the above (hail 1” in diameter or greater, wind gusts of at least 58 mph or a tornado) would make a thunderstorm “severe.” So while no single answer is wrong per se, the correct answer is “D – all of the above” since they would all make a thunderstorm “severe.”

I would assume Texas has the most tornados a year. Was curious, separately, about why hurricanes are called cyclones in Asia. Are they the same weather phenomenon, and if so, why the different term in use?
ReplyDeleteI say Kansas has more tornados!
ReplyDeleteTexas and Kansas are actually one and two respectively in terms of highest annual average number of tornadoes.
