It's very interesting, my Dad lives near where one of the earliest tornadoes hit in Missouri on Friday afternoon.
Every tornado I've ever known of in the area (5 or 6 maybe) have all been in that same general area (maybe a 10 mile square).

I think there is something to certain pieces kf ground getting hit multiple times. I live in western PA, not exactly tornado alley, and our neighbors property has had three tornados pass through over the years. The latest being last August when a small smashed his old barn. The biggest was an F2 which turned into an F4 shortly after it passed through his place. There was one other in the 80’s, wasn’t huge but did tear up some woods.

An old man from my wife's town in OK had his trailer destroyed by a tornado decades ago.
He then ended up getting killed by another tornado when it destroyed his house in the same spot a couple of years ago.

If you watch your local weather during severe weather events you see his and his company's work every single time they're on air. He's integral in modern radar technology, and outside of the transition to NexRad and the implementation of dual pol there is no other entity with a greater impact than Baron Weather Services has had on weather coverage across the country.
It was the November 15, 1989 Airport Road tornado in Huntsville and it's terrible aftermath that changed his direction in life. He knew what they were working with wasn't good enough, and made it his life's mission to improve weather coverage.
WAAY has a good "Remembering" special on that tornado. It is multiple parts, here's part one:

They have found EF2 damage in that one so far

oh frick off George - I had said nothing but the hope that everyone affected would come out ok in this thread. my comment was that Talladega held a special meaning for us, and I hoped that it would lift before it would have hit the college and the historic homes there.

Bob changed things in so many ways. I remember how he would put the graphics on a very large screen and he would walk back and forth… from the screen to the camera. He also had a very pleasant personality and made it so interesting.A friend of mine’s brother was killed in that airport road tornado.

After one passed you could smell the very strange pine tree bark smell after some trees got damaged, and it was strong.
It's usually pine mixed with churned up earth, the scent of every Southern tornado.

The roads are very nice and easy to travel on that stretch between Hattiesburg and Jackson.
I like that area, if I were retired and wanted to live in Mississippi, it'd probably be somewhere around there.

That was Spann's tag team partner on 4/27/11, no?
Yes, and he's very much like Spann in that he knows the area he's responsible for. I used to call him Rainman when he was at WHNT in Huntsville. He left the Chief Met gig there for the private sector. It didn't suit him at all, and he took the first job he could back home in the Birmingham area.

If that isn't the perfect endorsement for an interior safe room I don't know what could be better.

& this is where they were really makes that point clear

That Calera tornado survey tells a story that shouldn't need to be told anymore. They've found damage consistent with an EF1 tornado with winds of 90mph. Of course, that is preliminary and could change. The worst damage and injuries was to a mobile home park. I can't remember if there was a death there. You just cannot stay in a mobile home during a tornado threat. All it takes is A tornado, any tornado. It doesn't have to be a significant tornado.

I drove through a neighborhood up in the Athens/Madison/Harvest area with large well built brick homes that had been cut in half by a tornado.
If you looked carefully you could see slightly different brick where some of the homes had already been repaired once due to a previous tornado. Apparently that neighborhood had taken three direct hits in 30 years or so.
Up there many of the homes are built with bright red brick made from the red clay soil and it was only the houses that had some other color or unique grout finish where you could tell, but once you saw it you couldn’t not see it.

They talk about climate change, but the same things always happen in the same places as they always have.
Tanner, Capshaw, then Harvest they get hit over and over again.
I think that topography is really an important factor that doesn't get looked at enough.

There are certain areas where I live that are more susceptible to tornados. I’m sure everyone has heard of tornado alleys and I believe that.
The tornado system will develop just north of city A, travel just south of city B then proceed to hammer city C. I’ve seen this too many times for it not to be a pattern.
