Where is Tornado Alley located?

USATODAY.com
The term "Tornado Alley" refers to the region of the USA where tornadoes occur most frequently, and there is controversy on just where it is. The term is used loosely because there are no exact boundaries. Generally, the term refers to the region on the Great Plains extending from central Texas north to the Canadian border. However, tornadoes are also frequent in other parts of the country. Tom Grazulis of the Tornado Project, says the USA has at least three tornado alleys.

Why does "Tornado Alley" have so many tornadoes?

Chasing FAQ
The idea of "Tornado Alley" is not a scientific one ... it's something that has been created by the media. However, it is certainly true that tornado frequency varies around the United States (and, indeed, around the world). Some places have pretty high tornado frequencies compared to the rest of the world and it's inevitable that someone wants to call such locations by the term "Tornado Alley." However, at face value, this question is pretty difficult to answer.

Others find themselves in trouble when they know what to do but simply ignore to play it safe.
