PHOTOGRAPH BY NASA/NOAA GOES PROJECT When Americans imagine tornadoes, many tend to think of them churning through plains states like Kansas or Oklahoma. But destructive twisters strike hard in a very broad area of the eastern United States. The tornadoes that have left at least 31 dead over the past two daysâwreaking havoc in Arkansas, Kansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, and elsewhereâare not extraordinary in terms of their strength, location, or numbers.
Although tornadoes can happen at any time of year, they are especially common during the spring and early summer. May and June are the peak months in terms of numbers of tornadoes, but April appears to be the deadliest month. Two of the all-time worst tornado disasters occurred in April.On April 3-4, 1974, 148 twisters struck 13 states, causing more than 300 deaths, and on April 27, 2011, 137 reported tornadoes swept through the south, killing nearly 300 people in six states.his area, dubbed tornado alley, extends roughly from the Rocky Mountains to the Appalachians, and from Iowa and Nebraska to the Gulf of Mexico. Tornadoes can also occur elsewhere, though, including all U.S. states, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
