Yeah, and areas of that "wind belt" can get pretty violent at the extremes. It includes Tornado Alley [1], which we got to experience in full force in 2017. The house got hit by a mile-wide EF4 tornado. We were fortunate -- it only took half the house and one of the vehicles -- but the three houses around the corner were left to slabs, swept clean as the day the foundations were laid -- and hundreds of heads of cattle from the surrounding ranches were just gone -- no one ever figured out where they landed; however, other items were discovered 50 miles away. That was a crazy day.
