Although tornadoes can happen in any state,they are most common in the central U.S.This is why that part of the country is nicknamed(给……起绰号) Tornado Alley.Though this past weekend’s storms were damaging,they were not abnormal for this time of year.More tornadoes hit the U.S.in May than in any other month,according to the National Weather Service(NWS).
“We’ve had at least one tornado reported somewhere in the nation every day since May 2,”weather expert Greg Carbin said.“It’s a dangerous time of year.”
