There have already been 16 tornadoes in Maryland this year, though most have been small. I am always amazed at what they do. On average, there were 760 tornadoes yearly in the United States 1950 to 1994. The year 1992 was especially active with 1,297 tornadoes. The three most active months for tornadoes are April, May, and June, but tornadoes can occur in any month.
Tornadoes also occur in other countries, but the United States is a principle area of occurrence.
I love to watch thunderstorms, and I enjoy the stress of working during severe weather and getting the warning to the public in time to save lives. Read our Privacy Policy Statement .
