Reply to comment by dlyselxicssuck in TIL the UK experiences more tornados per year than any other country in the world relative to its land area. by blr126

Ironically, while Texas gets the most tornadoes of any state on this list, the state is so massive that it is the lowest per square kilometer. It is over 3 times the area of Kansas and nearly 3 times as big as the UK. So it does it fair share of skewing the average.

Furthermore, a state like Alaska, which is 2.5 times the size of Texes really throws off the average with its 1 tornado per year.
