US History/Print version Why is this part of Oklahoma so vulnerable to killer tornadoes? The short explanation is that Moore sits at the heart of Tornado Alley. Tornado Alley extends from the Rocky Mountains in the West to the Appalachians in the East. Seventy-five percent of the world's tornadoes hit in the U.S. That's more than 1,000 per year. (Canada, at No. 2, has just 100 per year.) And nowhere are they more common than in the swath of the nation's midsection centered around Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and the states to the north.

Oklahoma tornado: how did it form and why was it so deadly? May and June are the busiest months for tornadoes. Where does this one rank? The Moore tornado appears to be the worst to strike in the US since 158 people died two years ago, almost to the day, in Joplin, Missouri. Prior to that you have to go back to 1953 to find a more lethal twister. But it is not the first time Moore has been hit. In 1999, the same area was struck by a tornado that killed 36 people. The deadliest tornado on record struck in Bangladesh in 1989 and killed 1,300 people. Is climate change to blame?
