One may revise this yearly and/or regionally, but the probability may be factually stated to be low. Regardless, tornadoes cause millions of dollars in damage, both economic and physical, many deaths, and hundreds of injuries every year.
The climate-tornado link is confounded by the forces affecting larger patterns and by the local, nuanced nature of tornadoes. Although it is reasonable to suspect that global warming may affect trends in tornado activity, [104] any such effect is not yet identifiable due to the complexity, local nature of the storms, and database quality issues ...
A study published last month in the academic journal Earth’s Future modeled the effects of warming on the creation of “convective environments” that can lead to tornadoes. The researchers ...

The effects of tropical cyclones include heavy rain, strong wind, large storm surges near landfall, and tornadoes.

Tropical cyclones remove forest canopy as well as change the landscape near coastal areas ...
