Default Higher elevations equals more calm weather? Does elevationmatter?

I know the overall odds of being killed by a tornado is 1 in 2 million
but if you live in tornado alley those odds approach more like 1 in
500,000


That last number seems low to me if it is per year, but maybe
it's correct. *Anyway, you're right that where you live can
make a difference.


I meant to say that number seems a little high to me. And
it may depend on how tornado alley is defined. I've seen
different authors produce different maps.
