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)
In: Planetary Science
The heat Island effect caused by roads, parking lots, and large buildings somewhat protects cities from tornadoes and similar storm types. They can still hit them, but the pressure differences between the city air temp and the surrounding area air temps typically deflect them.
