"Tornado Alley" seems to be more of 'Tornado Autobahn'. There is a pretty wide swatch that covers a lot of area including western Tennessee, but that's only where they spend MOST of their time. They seem to enjoy ventures to most any place in the country.


I'm very familiar with Xenia, even when it was there. My firsthand lesson of 'tornados' was the local destruction in 1953 when a family of 5 who's two daughter that went to grade school with me, was killed a couple blocks away from my house. This memory led me to search the web and I found that tornados seem to have an enticement to towns named Cleveland. The Clevelands in Arkansas, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas have all had visits and I didn't even know there were that many Clevelands.
