What states are in the Tornado Alley?

Perhaps the most common definition of tornado alley is the location of where the strongest tornadoes occur most frequently. In the United States that location is from Texas, northward through Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and into South Dakota. However, states to the east have experienced many F5 tornadoes since 1950 such as Iowa, southern Ohio, and northern Alabama (Birmingham, Alabama has actually been struck by two F5 tornadoes). Another criteria for determining tornado alley is to not focus on just the strongest tornadoes, but the location of where tornadoes happen more frequently relative to other places in the county. When using this method tornado alley has a much wider reaching grasp. In addition to Significant Tornado Alley, this area can include the great lowland areas of the Mississippi, Ohio and lower Missouri River Valleys, as well as the Southeast into Florida.

Ok, I didn't know it was in that many states. I knew that Colorado was also partly in Tornado Alley, but didn't know there were that many more states in the Tornado Alley. Thank you. Oct 05 07, 11:37 AM
