Next Episode of Tornado Alley is
not planed. TV Show was canceled.
The Wizard of Oz movie in 1939 helped Kansas and the Great Plains become known as part of "Tornado Alley" - the region of the United States often visited in late spring and early summer by dangerous, sometimes violent, tornadoes. Part of the reason why is that the "dryline" -- a front separating moist Gulf of Mexico air from dry air from the Southwest -- often sits across these states, helping spawn tornado-producing thunderstorms. The Glossary of Meteorology published by the American Meteorological Society defines "Tornado Alley" as "a term often used by the media to denote a zone in the Great Plains region of the central United States, often a north-south-oriented region centered on north Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska, where tornadoes are most frequent."
Chance encounters enable strangers to survive tornado nightmares; separation for a family hurts worse than the storm; two strangers rely on instinct to survive a multiple vortex tornado.
A family skips the town shelter; an immigrant from Nigeria finds strength is his new community after the loss of his wife.
A girl who lost her own grandmother to a tornado three years earlier is saved by three rescuers; a older girl finds her inner courage; a campus ministry member and a storm chaser unite to help people in the storm.
Frozen yogurt stop becomes shelter for strangers in Joplin, Missouri; families look for help after winds destroy their small town; cell phones save a couple's daughter during a storm.
