Any part of a home can be impacted by a tornado, depending on how strong it is. A weak tornado will probably not damage more than the exterior. The basement is the least likely part to be affected, but an EF5 tornado could easily remove a house from its foundation and expose the basement to the winds.
That depends on the tornado. In a single vortex tornado the most damaging part would be the edge of the tornado's core, analogous to the eye wall of a hurricane. In a multiple vortex tornado, the most damaging part would be the subvotices that orbit within the main circulation of the tornado.
Tornado Alley is a region in the central United States that includes parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, and South Dakota. This area is known for its frequent and powerful tornado occurrences due to the clash of warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and cold, dry air from the Rocky Mountains.
The eye of the tornado is the calmest part of a tornado.
Although Florida has a high frequency of tornadoes, it is not considered part of Tornado Alley because it is very far from it and would best be considered as part of a different tornado-forming region.

Yes it is. Tornadoes form during thunderstorms, and a downdraft caused by rain is one of the things needed to produce the tornado.
The body, the part of the tornado that tends to do more destruction, and the eye which is the calmest part of the tornado.
Yes, the 1999 Oklahoma tornado was part of Tornado Alley, a region in the central U.S. with a higher frequency of tornadoes due to its unique geographic and climatic conditions. Oklahoma is situated within the heart of Tornado Alley and experiences a significant number of tornadoes each year.
