Learn about Tornado Alley, the area in the United States where tornadoes are most frequently formed and often cause the most damage.

Robert Miller and Ernest Fawbush coined the term "Tornado Alley" after studying the pattern of tornadoes that occurred around Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma. They determined that the highest number of tornadoes in the United States took place across states such as Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska. In this exciting new book, readers will learn about the history of Tornado Alley, other weather phenomena in the area, and what you can do when there is a tornado headed your way. The book also reveals how tornadoes are formed, how storm chasers do their work, and how they help researchers predict new tornado patterns.

Wes Locher has written books including the humorous essay collection Musings on Minutiae and two works of video game journalism, Braving Britannia: Tales of Life, Love, & Adventure in Ultima Online and Braving Britannia: Tales of Melancholy, Malice, & Peril in Ultima Online, which have been featured by Wired, Game Developer, VentureBeat, and the TED Talks podcast Far Flung. In 2021, he published the first two titles in his “tiny books” series: Networking: What Is It, How Do You Do It, and Why Is It So Scary? and Game Writing: What It Is, What It Isn’t, and How to Get Started.
