What US state is both a part of tornado alley and a major hurricane landfall area?
That state would be Texas - although the parts of the state that get hurricanes and the part that is in tornado alley are rather far apart. The Gulf coast gets hurricanes. Tornado alley stretches down into the upper part of Texas near Oklahoma. Fortunately the two areas are hundreds of miles apart. Unfortunately hurricanes have been known to spawn some tornadoes so that even areas that are not part of tornado alley may get tornadoes in connection with a hurricane.
Is a tornado alley a specific location or do dangerous tornadoes happen all across the US?
Both. Tornado Alley is a region in the central United States where there is a higher incidicence of strong tornadoes than anywhere else. However, strong tornadoes have been recorded in most U.S. states and most states east of the Rockies have recorded at least one violent (F4 or F5) tornado.
How strong is a tornado in tornado alley?
The strongest winds ever recorded in a tornado (302 mph +/- 20) occurred in the Moore, Oklahoma F5 tornado of May 3, 1999.However, actual wind measurements from tornadoes are rare, so other tornadoes may have been stronger, but never had their winds measured.Another good candidate for the strongest tornado in Tornado Alley is the Jarrell, Texas tornado of May 27, 1997, which produced the most extreme tornado damage ever documented.
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.
