Welcome to Tornado Alley...Tornado Alley
In the United States, there are two regions with a disproportionately high frequency of tornadoes. Florida is one and "Tornado Alley" in the south-central United States is the other. Florida has numerous tornadoes simply due to the high frequency of almost daily thunderstorms. In addition, several tropical storms or hurricanes often impact the Florida peninsula each year. When these tropical systems move ashore, the embedded convective storms in the rain bands often produce tornadoes. However, despite the violent nature of a tropical storm or hurricane, the tornadoes they spawn (some as water spouts) tend to be weaker than those produced by non-tropical thunderstorms.
Tornado Alley is a nickname given to an area in the southern plains of the central United States that consistently experiences a high frequency of tornadoes each year. Tornadoes in this region typically happen in late spring and occasionally the early fall. The Gulf Coast area has a separate tornado maximum nicknamed "Dixie Alley" with a relatively high frequency of tornadoes occurring in the late fall (October through December). ~ courtesy of the NOAA website
I wouldn't mind the Sims in a certain world having an almost daily thunderstorm with a 75% chance of a twister happening. - troshalom5 years agoSeasoned Ace

They experience blizzards if you have seasons and can freeze to death if they are outside too long. I think there is a major weather event in Sulani too, but I haven't played the world long enough to experience it. There are volcanic eruptions in Sulani too
