Tornado Alley isnt moving. The 1884 Enigma Outbreak, 1932 Super Outbreak, 1974 Super Outbreak, and 2011 Super Outbreak all happened in Dixie Alley.
THANK YOU!!!
1974 SO did NOT happen in dixie 💀
@@wilbert_GT 3 of the 7 F5 tornadoes happened in Alabama, including the strongest one, Guin.
@@trollerjakthetrollinggod-e7761 ah
Agreed dixie ally is active late winter very early spring and then it shifts to great plains when it warms up.
Tornado alley is not shifting. Tornado alley exists because of geography. Hot humid air from the gulf of mexico mixes with cool air coming over the Rocky Mountains and creates the ideal conditions for tornadoes to occur. If the Rocky Mountains didn't exist, tornadoes would be no more prevalent there than any other area of the USA.
Correct. I am a weather enthusiast. Geography 100% is why we get the most tornadoes here over everywhere else in the world
With Global warming, tornadoes will be more frequent. I live in Maryland and we never usually get them, now they are more frequent as the years pass. You don't need a geological set up to get twisters.
@@loganogden3217
Your right Tornado alley did not shift, but you don't need a geological set up to produce tornado. They can drop anywhere they want only sparing Antarctica. Yes as the Planet warms tornadoes will be more frequent, stronger and popping up in unusual locations. I been around long enough to know. 30 years ago here in Maryland almost never had tornadoes, now there popping up every year now. I also noticed that the heat 30 plus years ago is not the same heat today.
He said that that's why we get the most tornadoes and geography is the reason for it.
It’s not moving but I’d say another area is
Just to clarify. Tornado warning means a radar indicated or confirmed tornado. A confirmed tornado warning means it’s been spotted by trained spotters. Tornado emergency means dangerous life threatening tornado on the ground either radar confirmed or spotter confirmed
tornado warnings dont necessarily mean there is a confirmed tornado, it just means like "Hey, theres some rotation in these clouds, nows your time to take shelter" You are right about the tornado emergency part.
Thank you for saying this ive been trying to tell people that a tornado warning doesn’t necessarily mean a tornado is on the ground
*Sighs* you missed a PDS tornado warning. Also you missed a confirmed tornado that doesn't always mean a "Chase saw it" It can be confirmed by radar. Which means radar has confirmed debris in the Air. So from the radar site by looking at CC (Correlation Coefficient) and it has a deep blue matching with velocity it mostly likely means there's a tornado on the ground without a chaser with it. (Well there can be a chaser with it just not confirming it or reporting it) Also with anyone still reading a PDS Tornado warning means (Particularly dangerous situation) and a tornado emergency is basically the same thing except going for a populated area.

Tornado alley stays in the same place, it’s the warm air from deserts in Mexico and southern Texas, Moist are from the gulf, and cold air from the northern states that produce it. It’s purely geography. And Dixie alley has always been there. No shifting whatsoever
No, there is not a shift in Tornado Alley. There are other Tornado Alleys such as Dixie Alley, which has had its share of Tornadoes for a long time, there are violent Tornadoes in both Alleys. You can look back over history and see Violent Tornadoes in Alabama and Mississippi, just as you can with Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, and Iowa.
Also regarding Maryland and Tornadoes, MD has had them before, it is nothing new to the State, but it does not occur as frequently as in the Tornado Alleys. All 50 states have had Tornadoes. Some examples of past Maryland Tornadoes include:
November 9, 1926, an F4 hit PA Plata, Maryland.
The Frostburg tornado was the first ever recorded F4 in Maryland. Maryland had deadly tornadoes strike back in 1944 and 1929, but the Fujita Damage Scale has only been applied since 1950. This is the strongest tornado to have struck the State since 1950.
April 28, 2002 La Plata was hit by another F4 Tornado.
It is somewhat cyclical, with many factors that lead to which region is more active, if they are equally active, etc, such as El Niño or La Niña, there’s also a northern Pacific Temperate Oscillation, and the Gulf of Mexico that all have effects on the weather, everything from Tornadoes, to Hurricanes, to Rain and Snow.
Part of Illinois, part of Ohio, and Indiana are actually in a separate "Tornado Alley," known as "Hoosier Alley." Part of Illinois is in Traditional Tornado Alley. It's not unusual for those states to have a lot of Tornadoes, for example the Tri-state Tornado, the 1974 Super Outbreaks which included the Xenia, OH F5 tornado, the Palm Sunday Outbreak, and many Tornadoes throughout the years.
As far as a "Classic Tornado Season," Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, and Iowa are also in the top number of Tornadoes. Iowa is number 2 on the list. Texas is number 1, but it is the largest state in Tornado Alley, and per square mile, it is Actually Iowa that takes the top spot. So, this has the characteristics of a classic Tornado Season, from that perspective.
1908 Dixie Outbreak Dixie Alley with 1 F5 Tornado in Nebraska

It's because tornadoes can occur outside of tornado alley, not because it's shifting

@@brickx4106 dawg strong tornadoes have been happening outside of tornado alley for years, it's called Dixie Alley and has been documented since like the 1700s. It's not due to global warming. Heck, the first documented tornado wasn't even in tornado alley, it was in Germany in 1764. Modern day ratings gave it an F5 or T11. Stronger tornadoes have arguably been less frequent, we haven't even had an EF5 occur since 2013.

@@rekezmoney3753 thats cap and you know it
@@brickx4106 There's absolutely no science backing that statement that warmer = more storms. In fact, there's been a decrease in the frequency and severity of hurricanes and tornados as a whole. So either the planet isn't getting warmer so storms are decreasing, or the two aren't tied. Either way, somebody covering this in the news has been BSing you.
Wrong. A tornado watch means a storm that can start rotating, a tornado warning means the storm is rotating and a tornado could drop but a tornado Emergency means it has been spoted
Actually…
Tornado watch is where the weather conditions can maybe produce a tornado and to be prepared if it does happened
Tornado warning means the weather radar found a supercell and it can possibly cause a tornado
Confirmed tornado warning/tornado sirens means a tornado is on the ground and possibly or can enter your town
Tornadoes have occurred in every state. It's not shifting lmao most tornadoes outside of tornado alley are weak ones but strong tornadoes have happened. Educate yourself.
People in Dixie Alley already practice tornado drills
Also a tornado warning does not mean one has been spotted always. It can also be radar indicated rotation. Which means it’s likely to form but doesn’t always mean it’s confirmed. A wall cloud isn’t always a pre-cursor of a tornado. In fact, it’s not always even a pre-cursor to supercells. It’s just another storm cloud.
I would not be saying that tornado valley is moving but a but more accurate to say tornado valley is expanding do to more areas being more susceptible to tornado events
tornado alley isn’t moving and tornado warning doesn’t mean one touched down it means a storm is behaving in a manner that may produce a tornado
Tornado alley is not shifting at all. It’s normal for a state that you wouldn’t expect to have tornados to have tornados, but Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, Mississippi, Missouri, and Iowa are still at the top of the list
OK, first off that is not what a tornado warning means a tornado warning means that the climate and weather is perfect for a tornado it confirmed tornado is a tornado has been spotted. There is a difference.
If your going to correct someone with an attitude, at least try to be correct.
Climate has nothing to do with tornado warnings or watches. Climate is the pattern of weather in a region typically over 30 years or more.
A tornado watch will be issued if weather conditions are favorable for tornadoes. These can last typically over a few hours.
The lowest level tornado warning is issued when significant rotation is spotted by spotters on the ground or through radar velocities. Once an actual tornado is in progress, the tornado warning will be upgraded to an observed tornado warning.
There are even more serious tornado warnings after that including the PDS (particularly dangerous situation) and tornado emergency. There is a set criteria which must be met to warrant these upgrades to the warning which I am not entirely familiar with, but they account for tornado strength and population.
Regardless, if you live anywhere in the US, pay attention to the weather and take all watches and warnings seriously.
Outrunning aka avoiding the tornado in your vehicle is probably your best bet. However, they tell people not to do this because it would flood the streets with vehicles in a gridlock.
Floridians watching the gas prices after a tornado💀
Tornado warnings are just areas of weather that can produce at any moment but that doesn’t mean they will
Another variation of the tornado warning: a tornado emergency, they are often rare but I’m pretty sure it goes off if there is a dangerous tornado heading for an area.
Not to be “that guy” but a warning doesn’t mean one is on the ground but means that a tornado is forming via rotation.
Make your own tornado in a jar.
What you will need:
A clear jam jar or similar see-through container with a screw-on lid
Washing-up liquid or liquid soap
Food colouring
What to do:
Fill up the container with water then add a few drops of the washing-up liquid and a few drops of the food colouring. Tightly screw on the lid.
Swirl the container around in a circle lots of times and then stop. Inside you should see what looks like a tornado. It will slowly disappear as it reaches the top of the container.
Tornadoes in the real world are made in a similar way, when cold and warm air combine and spin.
So if you think about it mother nature is just playing on a much larger scale so climate change isn't really a thing when it comes to the making and forming a tornado
Been said but I'll reiterate.
Watch: Conditions for a tornado are favorable. "Better watch to see if a tornado forms."
Warning: Radar has indicated that there is rotation that is likely to produce a tornado. "We are warning you that a tornado is potentially forming and could drop at any moment." This can be followed by "Radar confirmed" if radar is picking up debris signatures. Or "Spotter confirmed" if someone has a visual on it.
Emergency: A life-threatening torndao is confirmed on the ground and headed towards a populated area. "This is an emergency situation. You are in severe danger from this tornado."
Also remember that if a tornado looks like it isn't moving, yes it is, and you're in it's path.
You missed the highest from of warning tornado emergency which is issued for those in the immediate pathway of a tornado
a watch means the environment is favorable for potential tornados, large hail, and damaging winds doesnt mean one is gonna happen because in watches they dont occur all the time but yes a warning means radar indicated rotation or someone reported it on the ground
I've lived in Dixie Alley my whole life and we've always had tornados lol
Tornados can happen almost anywhere when the conditions are right
Ever heard of Dixie Alley? Maryland has had plenty of tornados dating further back than the 80s
The 2024 Tornado season begs to differ.
Tornadoes happen outside of tornado alley too, not because it is shifting. Also, I have heard arguments of how climate change could actually be hurting tornado development. I think they talked about wind shear not being as prevalent but I am not sure.
To make a tornado watch and warning more easier to understand. Let’s take a taco for example:
A taco watch is when all the ingredients are right to form a taco
A taco working is when all the ingredients come together to make a taco.
I live in the Rockies, I have nothing to worry about
Tornadoes happen here in maryland fairly often more than you think
“Do not try to outrun a tornado in a car” …… but storm chasers do? 😅
It's bc if everyone is trying to outrun a tornado, then it'll cause a traffic jam and more people will die as a result (hypothetically). In theory, you can outrun the majority of tornadoes EF3 or lower in an automotive vehicle provided you don't stop, but if everyone did it, there would be a lot of needless death. It's relatively safer to find shelter because of the driving conditions anyway.
As for storm chasers, their jobs are literally to collect data and get the hell out of dodge. "Don't try to outrun a tornado in a car" is more or less just a general warning for the public to make sure it's safer for the storm chasers to escape after getting what they need (bc let's be honest, storm chasers are already in danger 95% of the time).
Acualy a warning is issued when circulation strong enough to produce a tornado or a funnel cloud is spotted
Tornado Alley is not shifting, that's a misinformed theory due to misconceptions about how often tornadoes form in certain areas. Only reason it's "happening more often" is because we are starting to record more and more in those areas where beforehand we didn't even think about it bc of Tornado Alley.
Tl;dr The frequency of tornadoes in Dixie Alley has very likely always been like it is today, we just never really paid attention to it due to the poor chasing conditions.
(also note: most super outbreaks have occurred outside "Tornado Alley" than in Tornado Alley.
1. 1871 St Louis tornado in Middle MS Valley
2. 1874 Nov. Southeast outbreak
3. 1875 March Southeast outbreak
4. 1875 May Southeast outbreak
....... i could go on. We have records of every outbreak dating back to the 1860s to today, as well as a few records of tornadoes between 1643 to the 1850s.
2nd tl;dr look up list of all outbreaks in the US and youll see that tornado alley isnt shifting)
This is just the weather pattern changing and clouds reaching long distances
A tornado warning sometimes means there is radar indicated rotation not always a tornado but you still need to seek shelter
why tf r u smiling..
I saw that there were multiple warnings almost every day in Upstate NY
What she should of said its el nino and el nina shifting around causing tornadoes and outbreaks in different places.
My aunt and uncle live in Halethorpe and there was a tornado right next to their house luckily nobody was hurt
Climate change in Texas is from sunny to rain. Winter to summer.
Tornado alley and Is not moving there are more then three me tornado alley
God dammit I moved from tornado alley to get away from the tornados and now I have to deal with them more 😢
welcome to dixie alley
Sooo does that mean more tornados are in the east?
What if u live in an apartment on the top floor
It’s not shifting bc there’s two alley for tornado like the tornado alley in middle us and Dixie alley for middle to east us
That’s not what a warning means. Don’t try to educate, if you don’t what you’re talking about.
I was born in Connecticut. In 1989 when I was 2 we had a tornado outbreak and one of them was an F4. I live in Maryland and 22 years ago there was an F4 in La Plata and 4 years prior there was one. Even as long ago as 1944 there were tornadoes as strong as an F3 in Maryland. Rare occurrence. Nothing to do with climate change.
Pov tornado chasers:
No it isn't. Dixie and tornado alley have both always been a thing. While we have only kept records of US tornadoes as far back as the 1950's there has been no significant changes to any of this based from then to now. Besides. 2024 clearly has shown that tornadoe ally is alive and well.
Global warming 😂 that’s why we had a small tornado in Oregon???
It is not shifting, Dixie alley might be but not Tornado alley
This isn’t entirely accurate, and this is coming from somebody who owns their own weather company and is studying meteorology.
Imagine they shift so much that they reach Europe. 💀

I live in Wisconsin so im safe right? RIGHT?
what is a tornado doing in Maryland
Warmer oceans are causing evaporation to occur more . This is causing more super cell ;which in return is causing more tornadoes and stronger hurricanes with intense flooding.
So, is warmer weather creating more evaporation which would result in more humidity and rainfall? Or more droughts and deserts? Because alarmists have claimed both, and both cannot be true.
@ulfrinn8783 Actually, it causes both at sea and on land, water is evaporated quicker on land causing droughts and then evaporated quicker in the ocean causing more violent storms
@@JALtravelsabout That's not how it works. There's a reason the largest deserts in the world are in the coldest places on earth, and the densest vegetation is in the hottest.
@ulfrinn8783 The problem is when you change those conditions, when the ice is gone you no longer have the biggest dessert and then when you dump all that extra water and trapped gas under the ice what happens then. This is about us changing the natural pattern and climate of our planet. This planet goes through natural changes but we as a species are speeding this process up dramatically. The science shows increased rainfall from storms around the globe not just in one area, more heatwaves have been recored and temperature records have been broken across the globe.
I mean tornados can be anywhere really they just specially form frequently in tornado alley and Dixie alley
They always have been
Tornado alley in Ohio moved
It's not that tornado alley have shifted,
with Global warming as the Planet warms, tornadoes will be more frequent, and stronger, not to mention pops up in new locations. I live in Maryland and we never usually get them, now they are more frequent as the years pass. You don't need a geological set up to get twisters.
Wouldn’t it be possible to outrun a tornado though because you’re in a motorized vehicle that has a top speed of 100+ miles per hour and the fastest moving tornado was like either 70 mph or 130 mph but the usual tornado only goes about 40 mph maybe even slower and also highways traditionally have speed limits of 60 mph or higher
Problem is a lot of people tend to build up traffic by “storm chasing” or trying to get to sturdy buildings. Also going that fast on wet roads with bad winds and potential hail is a major risk in itself.
I’m from Texas soo I have a lot of bad storms
