I lived in SE Alabama for a year in 57-58. It seemed that I remember regular tornado warnings in Dale and Geneva counties where I was, and we had regular small tornado touchdowns and minor damage done.
Also, I used to think of Dothan as the melting city, since the heat waves in the summer gave it that appearance when you drove over to it.

I’m in the hills of S.E.TN between Knoxville and Chattanooga and tornadoes here just bounce around in the hills and get trapped in the valleys. I hate this time of year.
You’re correct about Dothan. I’ve lived In Alabama over 20 years, and have only gone down to Dothan twice, out of work-related necessity. You can’t get any deeper south and not get an Gulf breeze of some sort coming in. It’s a mosquito and alligator filled steam bath in August. I feel like I’ve got prickly heat just thinking about it. *chuckle*
