WEEK #8 SURVEY

Indiana is in what is considered to be "Tornado Alley", a swath of states extending from the Southeast to the Plains. Although the state lacks the high frequency of tornadoes seen in places like Kansas and Oklahoma, it makes up for it in tornadic intensity.

Tornadoes can occur in any month but March through June is considered tornado season in Indiana. Historically, the most destructive tornadoes strike in March and April. June holds the record for the most tornadoes in Indiana on any given day - 37 - and for the most in a single month - 44. Both records were set in 1990, which is also the year for the most tornadoes in the state - 49.

From 1950 to November 2001, 1,024 tornadoes caused more than $1.7 billion in damage in Indiana, and killed 223 Hoosiers.
