  • I suppose so
  • That's not exactly a well defined area. Alabama comes in 11th. And I've lived in some of the states higher on the list as well. So yeah.

      There are actually 2 recognized areas. The South usually gears up just as winter is turning into spring and stays pretty well active through the middle of the summer. It might flare up again in the fall. The other is the more commonly known region of the Midwest from Texas to Minnesota. I've seen one tornado in my life and one waterspout. I missed getting hit in my car by a tornado by mere seconds, and I missed both the Joplin and Moore tornadoes by one day. There was another EF-5 that tore up the east side of OKC about 20 years ago - it took out a truck stop. I missed that one by a week. My first (and last) attempt at storm chasing netted me a flooded out motor when I went through a flooded street too fast - cost me a couple hundred to get it going again. I love storms and I'm an adventurer - maybe I shouldn't be.
  • I do. I've been here about 27 years (less than half my life). Still haven't seen a tornado. A couple of days ago there was an local tornado warning during daytime and I went outside to see if I could see one. Not a one.
  • I could handle the tornadoes alright. What I couldn't handle would be the never-ending almost treeless flat land of Kansas, Nebraska, and Iowa. Wyoming isn't considered to be in Tornado Alley, but it's like Nebraska in its ability to keep you awake on the road. Between Omaha and the Utah state line is 867 miles of the boringest country that God ever forced on anyone.
