3. Most definitely. April and May are famously bad.

"....In the United States, "tornado season" generally is in the spring when tornadoes are more prevalent from April through July, with May and June being the peak months. But like thunderstorms, tornadoes can form any time of the year....."

8. because of our geography, our continent is
most susceptible to tornadoes. Europe rarely sees them, Africa almost never, Asia, well, they have a wet season that is something to behold.

When I taught in eastern europe one summer, I tried to explain what a tornado was. They did not completely believe me.
