Severe Weather in Canada

Tornado development happens in three different steps. The first thing you need is a horizontal rotating body of air near the ground. This happened because of vertical wind shear which is the change of winds due to height. You then need your horizontal rotating body of air to be lifted off of the ground and become more of a vertical rotating body of air. Once the body of air changes from horizontal to vertical it then becomes known as a mesocyclone. Mesocyclones become fully developed in the updraft of a thunderstorm.
Tornadoes in the U.S. usually travel from west to east. This is because  U.S. isn't the only country that encounters tornadoes. Canada also comes in contact with tornadoes, there are about 80 within each year. The average number of tornadoes that have been observed in the U.S. are 1,200.

In the picture below it shows the hot spots for tornadoes. The little red dots show the hot spot areas and the hot spot areas in my country are in the central part of Canada.

The three requirements for hurricane formation are warm ocean temperature greater than 80º F, deep warm ocean water going 200m in depth and the Coriolis effect for spinning greater then 5º N. The country of Canada does not have ocean water that is greater than 80º F because Canadas ocean water temperature is around 46º F, with that temperature the water doesn't have a warm depth. The three different terms for hurricanes in different regions are hurricanes, cyclones and typhoons. Hurricanes occur near the Atlantic and East-Pacific. Cyclones occur around Australia and typhoons happen near the coast of China and Indonesia.
The picture below shows the regions of hurricanes.

The general path the hurricanes travel in the U.S. in from east to west this is due to trade winds blow to the west. Intense hurricanes rarely happen in Canada because of the cold water temperature, but hurricanes can leave Canada with light storms. There have been 12 named storms for Canada's seasonal average. On average there are about 6 hurricanes per year in the U.S. (http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/tcfaq/E17.html)
