Oklahoma lies in the center of a region nicknamed "Tornado Alley," where fierce thunderstorms produce scores of destructive twisters every spring and summer. Oklahoma has seen a high concentration of large and violent tornadoes, as well as the tragedy and devastation they leave behind. Cities like Moore, OK have been devastated by vicious tornadoes time and again. At the heart of tornado country, scientists lead the battle against the unknown, working to solve the mysteries of tornadoes and lessen their toll on human lives. TORNADO COUNTRY examines the chronological history of twisters in Oklahoma, from the pioneer days to the present, fully illustrated with over 100 photographs. Read about the progress that has been made in our scientific understanding of these deadly storms, the people who hunt them down to study them up close, and the record-breaking tornado disasters that have left their mark on Oklahoma history.
