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

That map confirms my desire to move to eastern TN/west NC

The family land/farm is just south of there around Satartia. Too many butt puckering storms have come near by in the last 10 years or so, but have been lucky to only get downed trees.

You can still go to Google Maps and find the path of the 2011 Tornado that passed through Tuscaloosa and north Birmingham.
Remember it well because one of our kids was staying with her grandparents for the week on Spring Break and was in the path or close to it. They live a little west of Gardendale

We had friends of the family that moved to Tuscaloosa back in 1999, first thing they did when they built their house was build a $5K concrete closet on the first floor incase there was a tornado.

Yeah. I wouldn't near there in Mississippi and I wouldn't live near Cullman or Phil Campbell in Alabama.
I'd never live near the Zoo, but not because of 'Naders.

"Dixie Alley" has always been known for having more powerful tornadoe
Yep, used to be fairly well known. I don't hear about it much even though its still a hot spot.

It seems like Dallas, through central/north MS and central/north AL is always getting bad weather

Tornadoes are about the only thing that really scare me. I fricking hate them man. It's like a wall of death approaching and humanity is helpless in stopping it.

Go ahead and build a shelter. No way I wouldn’t have one if I lived there
Posted on 3/26/23 at 2:03 pm to TutHillTiger
Kentucky, Arkansas and Tennessee have been getting them too. Need I mention the EF4 I survived 15 months ago.

I've seen researchers mention that the center point of tornado activity has kept moving south east for years now. Dixie Alley is a hotspot.

The Joplin tornado was a real bitch. It was an EF1 just outside the city limits, becomes an EF5 within the city, then dissipates just after it leaves the city.

More like since 1861..I mean, it is where Blues comes from for a reason.

That tornado was 12 years ago.
It's not that evident on the satellite views anymore.
But, you can still tell on the ground because there are no tall, established trees along that line.

I think it is cyclical, and the relative drought out in the traditional Tornao Alley over the past several years can be attributed, at least partially, to the triple dip La Nina we've had. Also, the drought out in AZ and NM has played a role in subduing the Plains.
We also have to remember, having this conversation immediately following an early Spring severe setup in the SE, that this part of the season favors activity in this area. It is going to be interesting to see if, with the shift to ENSO neutral and eventually full-on El Nino and the improving drought conditions out West, if we see an uptick in the Plains activity.

I believe that too.

Didn't look into the why, thanks for that.

There’s a tornado or a close call that crosses the river between Vicksburg and Lake Providence seemingly every year. This last one was the worst yet. I remember a really bad one 10-15 years ago that mostly dodged populated areas that went close to Yazoo City. You can still plainly see where it crossed I-55, near Durant.

Wife's family lives in Wichita KS
I know for certain that thre isn't enough going on in Wichita to make me live there permanently after visiting her family over spring and summer trips
Her grandfather was 90+ and had trouble hearing and so he kept that weather alert radio cranked up and it would squawk all night with notices.
We went to a drive in to see Indiana Jones Crystal Skulls and about 2/3rds into it this wall of darkness/clouds rolled in.. Every one split. The next day we drove around ( a couple hours tour of gypsum hills) and saw all the damage to farm equipment / irrigation systems and headed back just in time to beat that days storm...
That's not a way I want to live ... Even with the must elaborate basement

Yep.. you’re exactly right. I think about it every time I get to that spot . I remember for several years it looked so much lighter than the lush trees around it. It was like a bleached forest almost . You see exactly it’s path across the interstate .
