      He is so gifted. And we’re so lucky to have him. He has trained big names, one ABC’s Ginger Zee! He is our Alabama celebrity.

    I've heard the same theory about the hills & hollers & small mountains, and how all of the aforementioned are often very steep in north Alabama, so I believe the theory myself. We've been told this for decades. All of the rolling & steep terrain of the land certainly lends credence to this theory for WHY there are so many particularly deadly tornadoes in north Alabama. Me entire family has been living for generations in and around Cullman & Guntersville.

    What he is saying makes sense to me. So glad my mom and dad settled in Metro Atlanta and not Birmingham where my mother's from. Not saying that we don't have tornadoes--we do. But no F4's or F5's so far. Praying and knocking on wood that we never will. Damn scared of those beasts.🙏🙏🙏🙏

    It's on the Gulf Coast. When you have cold air from the north and hot air from the Gulf, well, it's like throwing gas on an already hot fire.

    Basically, Alabama has a lot of hot air and instability which leads to a lot of destruction.

    Makes sense. That's why Dr. Forbes thinks Oklahoma has so many tornadoes too, the air coming from the area of Oklahoma that's higher in elevation then central and east Ok.

    I've heard about the foothills possibly causing this. I can't recall who explained it, but in lamens terms, said it adds a "supercharger effect".

  • @WhoFlungPoo2024

    Fascinating theory. I've seen some limited discussion there may be some belief Oklahoma's Wichita Mountains, located near Lawton in southwest Oklahoma, may also play a role in supercell generation although I don't think a serious scientific study has been done. Still, some really nasty tornadoes (5/3/99 and 5/20/13) formed in the area generally north and east of that minor range and the '99 Moore supercell formed a few miles to their north.

      Georgia is only kinda part of Dixie Alley, it doesn't get nearly as many tornadoes as Alabama and Mississippi do. Systems usually have fizzled out in terms of tornado potential by the time they get this far east (Metro Atlanta resident).
