The tornadoes most common in the southeast quadrant of the US are often referred to as "Dixie Alley" tornadoes. These tornadoes typically occur during the late fall through early spring and can be particularly dangerous due to the densely populated areas they affect.
Tornadoes were scattered through Georgia in 2001 but the greatest concentration of activity was in the southern part of the state. This is also where the strongest of those tornadoes (an F2) occurred.
Tornadoes can occur in valley regions, but they are more common in flat areas such as the Great Plains. When strong thunderstorms develop in valleys, they can produce tornadoes due to the right atmospheric conditions. Topography can influence how tornadoes behave in valley regions, with terrain features potentially affecting their paths and intensity.
For the U.S. as a whole Alaska as the lowest risk for tornadoes, having only recorded 4 weak ones in the past 60 years. For the contiguous U.S. the region West of the Rockies has the lowest risk.
95% of all tornadoes in the US occur in an area known as Tornado Alley, which includes parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska. Additionally, tornadoes can also occur in other regions of the US, such as the Southeast and Midwest.
