Oklahoma Among States Experiencing Rise in Tornado Activity

According to data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Oklahoma has seen a significant increase in tornado activity in recent years.

The state ranked 16th in the nation with 31 tornadoes in 2020, up from 21 in 2019 and 15 in 2018.

This trend is part of a larger pattern of increasing tornado activity across the United States over the past decade.

Scientists are still studying the causes of this increase, but it is likely due to a combination of factors, including climate change, changes in land use, and population growth.

Whatever the cause, the increase in tornado activity is a serious concern for Oklahoma residents.

Tornadoes are one of the most destructive weather events that can occur, and they can cause widespread damage and loss of life.

It is important for Oklahomans to be prepared for tornadoes by having a plan in place and knowing where to go if a tornado warning is issued.
