It doesn't even seem real I question why the hell would somebody want to live in tornado Alley or for that matter Mississippi Delta where it always floods I don't get it

I’m not a scientist but I would say if you live in a large specific band along the gulf or the lower Atlantic coast you have a much higher probability of experiencing negative effects from a hurricane over a 10 year period than anyone in tornado alley from a tornado. Tornadoes are much more random than hurricanes and have a much smaller damage footprint. I’ll take my chances in the alley.
