"Tornado Alley" is an informal term for areas in the

United States that experience the most tornadoes. As a

rule, the territory between the Rocky Mountains and
the Appalachian mountain system is associated with
this concept. "Tornado Alley" covers from south to
north the territory of the states of Texas (north of the
state), Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota
(eastern half) and the eastern regions of Colorado.

According to statistics provided by the US National

Climatic Data Center, the state of Texas has the largest
number of tornadoes. The primary reason for this is the
large area of the state. The states of Kansas and
Oklahoma are in second and third places, respectively
Cities in the most tornado-prone states have stricter
building strength standards, and homes often have
tornado-proof shelters. About the possible approach of
a tornado, in addition to the media, residents of these
cities are also notified by special sirens.
This is a powerful phenomenon that not only frightens,
but can also cause enormous damage. It can even take
human lives.
