Although Florida has a very high concentration of tornadoes, they generally are not as strong or as destructive as the ones that occur in Tornado Alley. For example, since official records began in 1950 Florida has had 2 F4 tornadoes and no F5 tornadoes. By comparison Oklahoma has had 57 F4 tornadoes and 6 F5 tornadoes.
