In recent years, scientists have noticed an increased frequency of tornadoes in the Southeast, carving a path of lost property and lives.
The widely-known “Tornado Alley” includes the area from central Texas stretching north to Iowa, and from central Kansas and Nebraska east to western Ohio, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. And while Tornado Alley in the Great Plains still leads in the number of tornadoes, more are appearing in the Southeast, in eastern Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia. Tornadoes shifting further east have been taking a devastating toll.
In 2008, the US Census Bureau reported only 10% of new homes included a basement whereas 75% of new homes in the Northeast and Midwest had a basement. Parts of the Southeast are more densely populated, which means more deaths It’s not an anomaly for to tornadoes appear in the Southeast every year, but they present different vulnerabilities, Victor Gensini, a professor of meteorology at Northern Illinois University, told CNN.
