In 2025, Tornado Alley has become almost everything east of the Rockies — and it's been a violent year
87% Informative
The U.S. has had more reported tornadoes than normal — over 960 as of May 22 , according to the National Weather Service's preliminary count.
That's well above the national average of around 660 tornadoes reported by that point over the past 15 years .
The high tornado count in 2025 has a lot to do with the weather in March , which broke records with 299 tornadoes.
Tornado Alley is really all of the U.S. east of the Rockies and west of the Appalachians .
The farther south you live, the longer your tornado season lasts.
Listen to your local meteorologists so you will know when your region is facing a tornado risk.
If you hear sirens or are under a tornado warning, immediately go to your safe space.
