The three states that make up Tornado Alley in the United States are Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. This region is known for experiencing frequent and severe tornado activity due to its geographical location and weather patterns.
Since official tornado records began in 1950 three tornadoes have moved through Leavenworth, Kansas, though only one has actually touched down in the city. Data from prior to 1950 is either not readily available or nonexistent.
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.
There were 3 tornado deaths in the U.S. on May 10, 2010 from 2 separate tornadoes. The first was an EF4 that went through the suburbs on the southern and eastern sides of Oklahoma City, killing 2 people. The second tornado was also an EF4. It formed south of Norman and killed 1 person.
The Greensburg, Kansas tornado of 2007 Killed 12 people and injured 63.
If you mean the Greensburg, Kansas EF5 tornado the death toll was 11
12. It is very hard to find the most updated news. So the most updated one I could find said 12 people. However not all of those people were in Greensberg however they were all killed by the same tornado.
Greensburg, KS is 1.5 sq miles (3.885 km²).
No. A tornado is a localized event, usually not affecting more than a town or two. A tornado may lead to people leaving a town, or sometimes a tornado-prone region, but not usually a country. For example, many people left the small town of Greensburg, Kansas after most of it was destroyed by a tornado in 2007, but they all stayed in the United States.
There were no tornado related deaths in Kansas in 2000.
There were 187 tornadoes in Kansas in 2008.

In most cases the worst of a tornado would passover a house in a few seconds, and through a city in a few minutes. A house may take weeks or months to repair, or may simply never by rebuilt. In the case of especially devastating tornadoes, a city can take years to recover, and some never do.For example, after a large portion of the town of Greensburg, Kansas was destroyed by a tornado in 2007 many people did not rebuild. Since then about half the town's population has moved away.
It varies from year to year, but on average Kansas gets 95 tornadoes per year.
If you mean Hardtner, there are no records of any killer tornadoes in that area.
All sizes. Many are only a few yards wide, stay on the ground for a very short distance and cause little damage. In 1991 a series of 55 separate tornadoes struck Oklahoma and Kansas. The F-5 Andover tornado which killed 13 people was over 600 feet wide and covered a distance of 46 miles. The Red Rock tornado in the same outbreak was at least 4,000 feet wide and traveled 66 miles on the ground. It was only rated F-4 because it passed through no areas of high population, causing much less damage and no fatalities. The 2007 Greensburg tornado was the first tornado to be rated EF-5 using the Enhanced Fujita Scale. It was nearly two miles wide, traveled 22 miles, completely destroyed 95% of the buildings in Greensburg, and caused 11 fatalities. The widest tornado ever recored was the F4 that struck Hallam, Nebraska on May 22, 2004. The damage survey found the tornado was at one point 2.5 miles wide. The median path width for a tornado is about 50 yards.
