hard in 2011 by tornadoes. hundreds of people died in those storms. hundreds of them are now trying to velocity ways to stay warm and stay safe if a tornado comes. >> we simply think of tornado alley but you may be surprised to hear that the hardest hit states were the hardest south. the hardest hit state in 2011 was alabama with 177 twisters. neighboring mississippi saw 162 tornadoes, the second highest. next on the list, texas, north carolina, and missouri. the pictures are hard to forget. the deadly day on april 27th when 248 people lost their lives in the state of alabama. after that horrific day, the governor created a council to come up with a way to save public lives.
