How many tornadoes in florida

As well as being known as the Sunshine State, Florida is also renowned for its hurricanes and to a lesser extent, tornadoes.

No matter where you stay in Florida, whether you are up in the north, in the central Orlando area, on either the western Gulf Coast or the eastern Atlantic coast or down in the Florida Keys, you could be caught by a hurricane or a tornado.

Do not be complacent; one year when we were at Walt Disney World a mini-tornado struck nearby Kissimmee.

If you are on vacation during the Florida hurricane or tornado season then do check with your hotel, motel or villa owner for any specific information regarding any precautions you should take.
