Tornado Alley Is MOVING and That's a HUGE Problem [View all]



The United States is the tornado capital of the world, but the "Tornado Alley" we all grew up learning about is changing. While frequency is dropping in the Great Plains, a new, much deadlier threat is rising somewhere else...

In this episode, we travel to Wingo, Kentucky, to meet a survivor of the deadliest December tornado on record in the US and speak with atmospheric scientists Victor Gensini and Stephen Strader. We explore why America’s unique geography creates these storms, the atmospheric "cap" that is shifting the risk, and why this new "Tornado Alley" is significantly more dangerous than the original.
