Oklahoma in part of tornado alley, the Bible Belt and the Great Plains.
The eastern part of OK. gets more tornados than the west. But lately they have been avoiding OK. and hitting states around us, TX, Tenn, Kan, Mo, Ky.

Actually MK, the Western and Southwestern part of Oklahoma get far more tornadoes than the Eastern part.

That's only the path of the most violent tornados not the comlete alley. I always knew that parts of Ohio and Mich, were in the path too.

The mnemonic for that is Be My Little Girl.
And in answer to your earlier question, no, I wasn't in the Air Force and didn't take ROTC. (There were no women in ROTC then.) My husband and I were both civilian employees of the Air Force for 30+ years. He retired as chief of the division that repaired B-52, -135, B-1, E-6 (Navy) and E-3. I retired as a logistics manager in materiel support for the E-3 AWACS program. Most of the E-3's were stationed at Tinker, so I spent a lot of time with their maintenance guys. We live in Navy country now. Not an airplane in sight and we miss them. |

It is in between, but we don't argue about it like some on the MD forum do.  We also don't have a lot of civil war feelings around here.
Yes, OK gets tornadoes, but I wouldn't worry about it. If you live in a dorm or are on campus, you will be taken care of.  |

-135 is shorthand for various models of C-135, EC-135, KC-135, RC-135. The biggie there is the KC-135 stratotanker. I flew on one once. Got to lay back in the boom operator's pod, fly the boom and dump some fuel over northern Louisiana. Boeing really knew what they were doing when they built the 707. The -135 series, E-3 and E-6 are all built on that same fuselage.
Well, I've gotten us off-topic on this one. I guess I need to find a place to talk about airplanes. |
