Experts weigh in on why there are no tornado sirens in the Tampa Bay area Grant Gilmore
The Tampa Bay area has some of the most tornado activity in the country.
Data shows we have a higher frequency of tornadoes per 10,000 square miles than any other state, including Oklahoma!
One of the more active areas is the coast between Tampa Bay and Fort Myers. While the majority of our tornadoes are EF-0s, it s still a potentially devastating weather phenomenon that can pop up year-round.
So with so many tornadoes, why don t we ever hear tornado sirens going off? And why don t we even have them at all?
