Tornado Alley is a colloquial term for the area of the United States where tornadoes are most frequent.
I see from Maps that Tornado Alley is not the same as the Tornado Belt as some may refer to a region where Tornadoes hit as Northern Texas Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska & South Dakota...
....has the Alley shifted ?, becoming wider as a Belt to include Illinois and Indiana skipping over Missouri ?
Severe weather erupted throughout the Midwest on Sunday afternoon, with tornadoes tearing through several cities in Missouri and Illinois.
Reading the news, it is/was reported as 16 Tornadoes, or 23, 26 or as follows "Throughout the region, at least 67 tornadoes had been reported as of 10:15 p.m. Sunday, the National Weather Service said."
So which is it, how many Tornadoes ?, and why do those continue to live in these areas, same of the areas hardest hit by Hurricanes and is this because of Global Warming or Something more ?

Even in the Pacific the Strongest Typhoon of the Year Slams Philippines "Typhoon Haiyan Yolanda" 7-10 Nov.
You hear of Cyclones and Hurricanes too, is there a difference..."Hurricanes, Cyclones, and Typhoons are all the same weather phenomenon; just that they are different names for these storms in different places, Alantic, Northeast Pacific, and the Northwest & South Pacific, and Indian Ocean regions.
This phenomenon per NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration)
