It is not uncommon for tornadoes to hit Florida during winter and spring months.

Not so fast. Tornadoes are prone to hit Florida over the fall, winter and spring months.

What You Need To Know About Florida Tornadoes:

1. Tornadoes can happen anytime of the year.
2. Most tornadoes are EF-0, waterspouts that move onshore.
