Why do scientists believe ‘tornado alley’ is shifting?

Gensini studies the path of tornadoes at Northern Illinois University. He says there’s evidence that shows a shift in where tornadoes are happening. 

“You’re seeing a lot more in Nashville and Tupelo, [Mississippi],” said Gensini. 

In other words, there’s a shift from “tornado alley” into the southeastern part of the U.S. Gensini also says population growth will most likely contribute to more disasters.
