Over a dozen torandos touched down across the DFW area yesterday with major damage in Arlington, Lancaster and Forney Texas.

The United States plays host to around one thousand tornados each year making us the world's leader in tornado activity.  In fact three out of four tornados in the world occur in the U.S.  Nebraska, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Texas and Kansas make up tornado alley.  These states are likely to see tornados  in the spring and summer seasons.  Thunderstorms that are likely to spawn tornados are called super cells.

DID YOU KNOW?  A Tornado in Oklahoma once destroyed a whole motel. A few days later people found the motel’s sign in Arkansas!
