What city has been hit by the most tornadoes?
Oklahoma City. The exact count varies because city limits and tornado reporting practices have changed over the years; but the known total is now over 100. Mike Branick of the Norman NWS has prepared a detailed listing of 123 OKC-area tornadoes, updated through 2008. Another way to measure tornado count and avoid the vagaries of political boundaries is to use tornado hits within a radius; though this method will include tornadoes in some nearby communities. Frank Tatom has compiled such a list, using affected land area within a 20 mile radius of downtown of each city with at least 100,000 people. Through 2003, Oklahoma City also led by this measure, followed by Huntsville AL.
