The Great Plains are the most tornado-prone region in the world, earning the title Tornado Alley. The Deep South, particularly in Alabama and Mississippi, also has a high incidence of strong tornadoes, forming a region known as Dixie Alley. Florida also has a high incidence of tornadoes, comparable to that of Tornado Alley, but the tornadoes in Florida are weaker than in other tornado-prone regions. Finally, some suggest that there is a "Hoosier Alley" covering parts of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Michigan.
