Homeowners insurance in tornado alley

7. Statistics

There were statistics shown right after the Moore tornado that houses, in tornado alley, still only have a 1 in 10 million chance of being wiped out by a tornado. To get hit twice by a tornado (like many Moore homes) your chances decrease to 1 in one TRILLION!. So even though tornadoes are more prevalent in tornado alley, the chance of one of them destroying any one individual house are still extremely small.
Moore, and Joplin (entire towns being wiped out with the major infrastructure) is still a relatively small occurrence. Hurricanes are a much more destructive force in totality.

By the way, I live in mid Wisconsin, an area that gets a couple of tornados a year, and we pay about $750.00 a year. All major insurance companies cover this area.
