it jsut kinda happens

so tornadoes are tornadoes because they rotate, or else the wouldn't exist, what makes them rotate is the mesocyclone, or a rotating supercell (huge, really ****ing strong storm), for weak tornadoes they are called land spouts or waterspouts, and sometimes they don't even need a mesocyclone, but only for the spouts because its a whole other thing they do, they kinda suction them up a bit they toss them at high speeds (enough to impale or kill a person) riping them to shreds well, the objects don't control tornadoes, air does. so when warm air pushed cold hair down and makes kinda a rotating when the cold air reaches the bottom it heats up and rises, that makes thunderstorms, when you have a mixture of tornado ingredients it makes a tornadic mesocyclone, if enough rain cools the downdraft then it will cool the warm air below, stopping the updraft of warm air into the rotating storm, causing the tornado to like retract into the storm, sometimes one storm can spawn multiple tornadoes or tornado families

also no but hurricanes can spawn tornadoes, which actually are anticyclonic tornadoes, which means they spin clockwise instead of the usual counterclockwise a normal, non-hurricane tornado direction, due to the fact that hurricanes turn clockwise

no death oh there are many, just the most concentrated area that most people think of is the midwest area of the us, due to there being the perfect mix of warm, moise air from the gulf, could air from canada and dry air from the rockies making tornadoes more likely there

its called tornado ally btw

you're still in it technically, you are in the area where the majority of hurricane spawned tornadoes happen

yeah, but there are like way more "tornado allies" than you think, most people think of the midwest tho when they think tornado ally

yeah, tornadoes form in very specific conditions, America is ****ing huge so there is a lot of areas where certain conditions can form

well its hard to choose jsut one, there are many undocumented tornadoes that happen every year, and some from the 1800s too, i'll name the deadliest tornado tho

so the deadliest us tornado is: it happened in 3 states, mo-il-in om march 18, 1925 and started at 1:01 pm it killed 695 people and injured 2027, it was, of course, an EF5

well that terrain isn't as common for tornadoes but it would probably just like reach to the bottom of the cliff and continue
