Why Mid-South tornadoes can be more dangerous than those in Tornado Alley
Tornadoes can occur year-round in the Mid-South. Tornado-damaged dormitories and other buildings are seen on the campus at Union University on Wednesday, Feb. 6, 2008 in Jackson, Tenn. The storm, which hit at night, collapsed buildings, flipped cars and sent about 50 students to the hospital. (Christopher Berkey/AP Photo file)
Tennessee, Mississippi, and Alabama lead the nation in terms of tornado deaths per square mile.
