The Interior Plains are particularly susceptible to tornadoes due to their flat terrain and climatic conditions.

This region experiences severe thunderstorms, especially during the spring and early summer months, which can lead to the formation of tornadoes. The warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico collides with cooler, drier air from Canada, creating ideal conditions for these powerful storms. Tornadoes can cause significant damage, impacting homes, infrastructure, and agriculture in the affected areas. Awareness and preparedness are crucial for residents in this tornado-prone region.
