Here is some information about tornadoes from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration:

How many tornadoes occur in the U.S. each year?

• About 1,200 tornadoes hit the U.S. yearly
• Since official tornado records only date back to 1950, we do not know the actual average number of tornadoes that occur each year
• Tornado spotting and reporting methods have changed a lot over the last several decades, so we are observing more tornadoes that actually happen

Where is Tornado Alley?

Tornado Alley is a nickname invented by the media to refer to a broad area of relatively high tornado occurrence in the central United States. Various “Tornado Alley” maps look different because tornado occurrence can be measured many ways: by all tornadoes, tornado county-segments, strong and violent tornadoes only, and databases with different time periods.
