Why does Kansas have the most tornado deaths?
It doesn't. Since official records began in 1950 Alabama has taken first place with 627 deaths from tornadoes in that state. This rank is largely due to the 238 tornado deaths in Alabama on April 27, 2011. Before this, first place went to Texas with 544 deaths. By contrast, tornadoes have killed 236 in Kansas people in the same time period. This puts Kansas in 10th place behind Alabama, Texas, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Missouri, Tennessee, Arkansas, Indiana, and Michigan. Kansas still ranks high because it is especially prone to violent tornadoes. This is due to a climate setup in which warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico meets cool air from Canada and dry air from the Rockies. This generates strong thunderstorms. Wind shear then sets the torms rotating, allowing them to produce tornadoes. As to why Kansas has not taken first place, there are several reasons. First of all, tornado activity is somewhat more intense in Oklahoma and a portion of Texas. The most intense part of Tornado Alley seems to be centered on the Oklahoma City area. Second, many parts of Kansas are very sparsely populated. Higher population densities to the east mean more people in the paths of tornadoes. In the the Deep South tornadoes tend to move faster and are often harder to see than on the Plains, meaning people are often less prepared. Faster movement also means that tornadoes cover more ground, giving more opportunity to strike farms and towns. Finally there is a random component. One or two extreme events can affect a state's rank. For example, nearly half of the deaths in Michigan were from a single tornado in 1953.

Is it possible for a tornado to go south?
Absolutely. A tornado usually follows the path of the storm in which it results. So, if a storm is going south, the tornado has a high priority of going south. It is also possible for a tornado to go in a different direction than the storm in which it forms. For example, if a storm is headed west, a tornado could develop and go north. Hope this is helpful.
