These Oklahoma Counties Get The Most Tornadoes Each Year
Oklahoma has been pretty lucky with our weather the last few years. While tornadoes are still common enough in the Sooner State, we haven't experienced a massive outbreak or terribly large twister in quite some time.
In fact, the last EF-5 tornado in the world happened over a decade ago in Moore. Since then, EF-4 has been the highest rated, and those have become somewhat rare also.
There are some theories as to why Oklahoma isn't seeing as many tornadoes each year as we have. Even some meteorologists suggest the traditional Tornado Alley has shifted further East, but I don't think any Oklahoman is complaining about it.
Complaining about the hail? Sure... but nobody is whining due to a lack of massive and destructive tornadoes.
Well, most people aren't hoping for tornadoes...

While most tornadoes in Oklahoma history happen up and down the I-44 corridor, some of the state's most tornado-active counties might surprise you. My own home county was left off this list even though it seemed tornadoes were everyday life this time of year growing up.
If anything, you'll be left wondering why anyone still chooses to live in Moore.
