Are There Really Tornado Alleys?

     Probably not, says a professor who has studied the historical creation of such geographic areas compared to the reality of tornado strikes.
    Virginia Tech Social Scientist Jennifer Henderson finds:

“.....no universal definition...exists; they shift, expand, and shrink with different publications, authors, and purposes. They are sociopolitical rather than scientific concepts.”

     Alabamians who have lived though tornado outbreaks more than once may argue with her findings.....(you can see poster with them here.).... but if avoiding living in certain areas does no good whatsoever in tornado avoidance, I guess we should know that.
