Why is important to know about tornado alley?
It is important to know about Tornado Alley because it has a high incidence of tornadoes. This is important in the study of tornadoes and also to those who live in the region since, as with any area, it is important to know the potential hazards.
The area with the worst and most frequent tornadoes is know as what?
This region is called Tornado Alley.
Was the first tornado in tornado alley?
Most likely not. Tornadoes have probably been around since Earth had the same basic atmosphere of oxygen and nitrogen, perhaps even in Earth's primordial atmosphere, long before the tornado alley we know today even existed. Most people say yes and some say no.
Where in America do tornadoes happen?
Tornadoes can occur in the central part of the United States, often referred to as "Tornado Alley." This region includes states such as Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska, where the atmospheric conditions are conducive to the formation of tornadoes. Tornadoes can also occur in other parts of the country, such as the Southeast and Midwest.
Why is it important to issue tornado warnings as early as possible?
I used to live in Tornado Alley... a tornado watch means that the weather conditions mean it is very likely that a tornado will form in an area. A tornado warning means a tornado has touched down nearby.
Why are there more deaths from a tornado when it occurs where a tornado rarely happens?
There are two explanations for that and they are both likely factors. First, in areas where tornadoes are rare there is less tornado preparedness, and some people might not know to take shelter, especially if there are no sirens. Some people might not even take warnings seriously, believing that a tornado couldn't actually happen in their area. By contrast, in many parts of Tornado Alley tornado drills are almost as routine as fire drills. Secondly some of the less tornado prone areas, such as the northeastern United States, are more densely populated than the largely rural Tornado Alley, giving tornadoes a greater opportunity to cause fatalities.
What is the amount of tornadoes that have happened since the start of tornado alley?
It is not known. Tornado Alley has existed since long before there was anyone there who could document the data. Tornado records prior to the 1980s are not very reliable and get worse the further back you look. Even today we probably miss many of the smaller tornadoes that go though sparsely populated areas. The climates setup that makes what we call Tornado Alley probably took shape after the end of the last Ice Age about 11,000 years ago. Tornado Alley as we know it experiences an average of about 500 officially documented tornadoes each year. This gives us a result of several million tornadoes. To pin a more exact number based on this would not work, though, as the climate has fluctuated during this time period, which would have affected the number of tornadoes.
