Alabama Tornadoes

Alabama tornadoes are powerful, rotating columns of air that can cause severe damage during thunderstorms. They typically form when warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico meets cooler, dry air from the north. This combination creates unstable weather conditions. Alabama is prone to tornadoes, especially in spring and early summer, due to its geographic location in "Dixie Alley," where tornado activity is common. While most tornadoes are short-lived and cause localized damage, some can be extremely destructive, leading to loss of life and property. Preparedness and awareness are crucial for safety during tornado season.
