Why does the serpentine belt keep shredding?

S-belt broke and shredded last night. We replaced it with a new one drove around the block to.make sure it was ok. This morning on the way to work, it started shredding again. And I only work 10 mins from home.

Also look for leaning or misaligned pulleys. When a tensioner wears it will lean and cause the bet to migrate off.
