Dixie Alley heeft 1 tot 9 tornado's per jaar er zijn dan ook veel mensen omgekomen maar huizen worden ook verwoest en ik praat bullshit ik ben aardig en gek en knap lekker ding — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.111.249.210 ( talk) 12:43, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
Might be worth adding in a section about the 2020 Easter Tornado Outbreak or other recent tornado outbreaks too. I'd do it myself but I'm not sure how to gracefully add it into the wording on the main page. MoiraPrime ( talk) 20:09, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
So many tornadoes form that I‘m not living there one time I went to Colorado there was a tornado, but now I live in Annapolis which is good because now I live in the basement。 73.86.202.135 ( talk) 00:12, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
I live in Alabama and am very familiar with "Tornado Alley" which I have understood to apply to the Tennessee Valley tornado corridor as well as the one in the southern Midwest. But I never encountered the term "Dixie Alley" until today. Is this a term that is actually in widespread use? Or is this article an attempt to boost an obscure term to prominence?
In general, the 1860 name " Dixie" as a nickname for the South is a lot less popular than it was in, say, 1976 when John Shelton Reed mapped the region where "Dixie" was still in common use. Many southerners avoid or disparage the term for its Confederate associations. That downward trend, and the awareness that some southerners remain passionate holdouts in favor of "Dixie", makes me even more skeptical of the relevance and notability of "Dixie Alley."
The term "Dixie Alley" seems even less appropriate given that the region it describes was a center of resistance to Confederate ("Dixie") authority during the Civil War. (See McIlwain 2016 Civil War Alabama and Raines 2023 Silent cavalry among other histories.) -- ℜob C. alias ALAROB 15:47, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
