re: Looks like Mississippi and Alabama are actually the tornado captials of the world

Alabama and Oklahoma are tied for the most recorded F/EF-5 tornadoes. Seven for both.
Dixie Alley has become just about as active as the traditional Tornado Alley. Dixie Alley also has the unique issues of terrain, trees, high precipitation storms (so rain wrapped tornadoes) and many tornadoes occurring at night. All of these make it hard to get visual confirmation of tornadoes. That’s one reason while dual polarization radar has become such a key tool for tracking severe weather.
Here’s a map of traditional Tornado Alley and Dixie Alley for reference:
