Tornado Alley Is MOVING (and That's Not Even the WORST Part?!)

Season 7 Episode 11 | 10m 56s | CC

Tornado Alley is shifting. The Great Plains are quieting down — but a deadlier threat is rising in the Southeast. We travel to Wingo, KY, to meet a survivor of the deadliest December tornado on record, and talk with scientists about why America's geography breeds these storms and what's driving this dangerous new normal.
