  • "Dixie Alley" is a colloquial term sometimes used for areas of the southern United States which are particularly vulnerable to strong to violent tornadoes. Some argue this is distinct from the better known "Tornado Alley" and that it has a high frequency of strong, long-track tornadoes that move at higher speeds. The term was coined by National Severe Storms Forecast Center (NSSFC) Director Allen Pearson after witnessing a tornado outbreak which included more than 9 long-track, violent tornadoes that killed 121 on February 21–22, 1971. The specific characteristics of the Southeast led to VORTEX-SE, a field project studying tornadogenesis, diagnosis and forecasting, in addition to social science implications, and examines both supercellular tornadoes and those resulting from quasi-linear convective system (QLCS) thunderstorm structures. This was followed a few years later by another major field project, PERiLS, focusing on QLCS tornadoes. (en)
  • Dixie Alley est le surnom d'une région des États-Unis où se produisent un grand nombre de tornades annuellement. Celles-ci sont souvent violentes, comme dans la « Tornado Alley » plus connue, et sont la cause de nombreux décès. La Dixie Alley comporte la région du bas Mississippi (incluant les États de l'Arkansas, du Mississippi, de la Louisiane), de l'ouest du Tennessee, du nord de l'Alabama et de la Géorgie. Les tornades peuvent s'y produire à presque n'importe quel moment de l'année avec un pic en saison froide en mai et en octobre-novembre (fr)
  • Dixie Alley es un área sureña y muy extensa de los Estados Unidos de América, donde se producen con mucha frecuencia tornados. Gran parte de ellos, son los tornados más destructivos de Estados Unidos de América y los que más muertes han provocado. (es)
