Tornados in cities

489 viewsOtherPlanetary Science

Why is it that it seems like tornados never hit major cities (even in south and Midwest) seems like it’s always small towns. Even if they do spawn in major cities they seem to avoid any major areas. I Don’t seem to hear of massive cities getting leveled by tornados. (Atleast in my area)

It happens, but a tornado isn’t going to “level a massive city”, they’re not *that* large, but they still will carve a rather destructive path through one.

Better warning has prevented loss of life.
