Tornado alley is not an event, it is an area of the central plains of the United States.
It is always there and will almost certainly be there as long as the continents have their current forms.
Florida is a state that experiences a high number of tornadoes but is not considered part of Tornado Alley. This is due to its unique geography, with the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico providing favorable conditions for tornado formation.
On average, around 1,000 tornadoes are reported in Tornado Alley each year. This region, which includes parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, and South Dakota, experiences a high frequency of tornadoes due to unique atmospheric conditions.
Tornado Alley typically sees around 1,000 tornadoes each year, making it one of the most active regions for tornado formation in the world. This area, which includes parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska, experiences a high frequency of tornadoes due to the collision of warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico with cold, dry air from the Rockies.
Tornadoes can occur almost anywhere that gets thunderstorms, but they are most common on the central plains of the United States in a region known as Tornado Alley. The highest tornado activity can be found in central Oklahoma.
A tornado does not even last a day. The longest duration ever recorded for a tornado was 3 hours and 29 minutes. Durations over an hour are rare. The average tornado lasts about 10 minutes.

You may be referring to the relatively high frequency of tornadoes in the Deep South, which is called Dixie Alley. There are plenty of tornadoes here as well, just not quite as many as Tornado Alley in the Midwest.

Tornado Alley.
Tornadoes can occur in many parts of the world, not just in Tornado Alley in the central United States. They can form in any region where the right atmospheric conditions are present, although Tornado Alley does have a higher frequency of tornadoes.

Known as 'Tornado Alley.'
On average tornadoes in Tornado Alley kill about 16 people, but the numbers can vary greatly from one year to the next. Tornado Alley actually accounts for a minority of tornado deaths in the U.S. Nationwide the annual average death toll is about 56. The greatest portion of tornado fatalities in the U.S. actually occur in Dixie Alley, a second region of high tornado activity stretching from Arkansas to Tennessee and Georgia. This region averages 25 tornado deaths per year. While Dixie Alley generally has fewer tornadoes overall than Tornado Alley, it is more densely populated and the tornadoes there tend to move faster.
