Well, right now anyway, tornado alley runs from Birmingham, Alabama (40K tops, no rotation) to Harrisburg Pennsylvania, (active TVS), with important stops in Chattanooga, Tennessee,(35K, in rotation) and Lexington, Kentucky, (40 K in rotation).
Yesterday it ran from Eastern Kansas to SE of Chicago.
Traditionally the alley runs from Lubbock, Texas through Kansas City and on to Indianapolis.
