Dallas sits at the southern end of Tornado Alley and is one of the most tornado-prone major cities in the United States. The city has been struck by significant tornadoes multiple times, including the October 2019 outbreak that spawned multiple twisters across the metro area in a single night. Dallas's flat terrain and location at the convergence of warm Gulf air and cold continental air masses create ideal tornado formation conditions each spring storm season.
