The terms “Tornado Alley” and “Dixie Alley” may be familiar to some of you. The ODU study set out to determine if Virginia has its own tornado alley. The study looked at a few factors: tornado frequency, tornado track and percentage of mobile homes in a given area. There’s a primary “Tornado Alley” in eastern and northern Virginia that includes Richmond, the Tidewater and the D.C. metro area. Although there are not as many mobile homes in those areas, the tornado frequency and track is higher than other parts of the viewing area.

NORFOLK, Va. – A new report from Old Dominion University says that it will likely take years for the state of Virginia to achieve a complete economic recovery from the devastating coronavirus pandemic. The project comes from the 2020 State of the Commonwealth Report from ODU’s Strome College of Business. Sunday’s report said the pandemic ended a record of 11 straight quarters of economic growth and wiped out nearly a decade of job gains. But by April 2020, about 438,000 jobs in Virginia were temporarily furloughed or permanently laid off. And while Virginia has recovered about 200,000 jobs since then, there has been slowing job growth.
