When wicked weather occurs, what season will it most-likely be?

     Well, when the weather gets warmer, more and more storms will begin to appear. Because of the more hot and humid weather that's in summer and spring, it has most of the tornadoes and hurricanes. Some appear to be very wicked, but some do not.
     In more oceanic places, the cool ocean water will mix with warm air currents to form hurricanes. Some, and most hurricanes, will always form in a warm and humid place, like an ocean, which is during the summer, a more humid season. One of the most wicked hurricanes that hit the US, in terms of deaths, was the one that hit Galveston in 1900. It took up to 12,000 peoples lives, verrrryyy wicked and terrible weather! 
  Now, most tornadoes occur in the middle of the US. The states are Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, and Illinois! These places are considered as "Tornado Alley." The reason why all these states are hit with so many tornadoes, is because cold and warm fronts meet each other and mix together, mostly happening in spring/summer. These fronts come from the mountains, deserts, and Caribbean Sea making  a swirling motion and sucking in debris, and it gets bigger and bigger.
