A New "Tornado Alley"
The tornadoes that struck the Midwest states on November 17 might have come as a shock to many people; tornadoes only happen in Kansas! But, we're not in Kansas anymore. The Weather Channel has pointed out that more tornadoes per square mile touch down in states like Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, and Mississippi than in the traditional Tornado Alley states (Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota). These areas are so prone to tornadoes due to the meeting of hot, dry air from the Southwest; cool, dry air from Canada; and warm, humid air from the Gulf of Mexico.
