Tornado Alley is a region in the United States that stretches from central Texas up through the Dakotas. It covers parts of various states including Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, and sometimes extends into parts of Iowa, Missouri, and Illinois. Tornado Alley is known for its high frequency of tornadoes due to a combination of warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico colliding with cool, dry air from the Rocky Mountains. This creates an ideal environment for the formation of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes.
