A tornado is not a friend of humanity as it disturbs the environment. A tornado is a violent rotating volume of air that has a direct link with the air and a certain part of the cloud.

In US. Tornadoes are nothing new as they have places that the occurrence is high. Texas and Kansas have the highest number of tornado occurrence in the US.

The state in the United States of America that comes with the most number of tornadoes is Texas. This explains why this is a part of Tornado Alley. In a year, Texas is expected to have more than a hundred tornadoes reported in varying intensities. There are some that are just minor so people may not feel them that much but there are also some that are highly destructive.

This has caused people in Texas to have basements wherein they can be safe and wherein they could store some of their food products if the tornadoes hit hard. Another place where tornadoes have the tendency to hit hard in Kansas.
