There is a macabre rivalry in the US between the Plains States and the Southeast as to who is in the deadliest tornado path.

I think the Plains have more arguably but the Southeast has the most deadly due to higher concentrations of people.

Mississippi last I looked had the highest fatalities per capita. There is also a corridor between Tupelo in NW Mississippi passing thru Huntsville Alabama to the Rome Gerogia area which is a particularly active and deadly alley. It is probably the most like spot in the SE where cold fronts lap over warm pressure from the Gulf and hence lots of activity.

Here in the Nashville area, we have had at least 8-10 touch down with damage the past 7 years I've been here. The ones around here last night were apparently pretty bad.

I have relatives in OK, it almost seems like living in a war zone at times, always on the alert for enemy bombers who can drop one on you with almost no warning at any time. The comparison works even down to the "air raid shelters."

Martin, TN has been socked pretty good, as per the following pictures, though I'm not sure if the damage there was from last night, today, or a bit of both.
