I live in Nashville, and we just had a very devastating EF-3 Tornado over night that caused massive damage and lose of life, especially in the East Nashville, or Five Points area.

This article came up where 2 previous tornado’s (1933 and 1998) had pathed into the same focal point, and I was wondering what about this area makes it perfect for tornado pathing?

Ooh, I have a follow up question – why is it so unusual for tornadoes to hit urban centers? Is it because they just take up a relatively small % of land? Or is there something about them (tall buildings?) that acts as some kind of tornado-deterrent?
