2008 SEC Basketball Tournament a tornado damaged the Georgia Dome during the State vs GA game.
That was State vs. Alabama.
A guy for Alabama hit a 3 pointer to send it to overtime and that is when the tornado hit. Had he missed, folks could have been leaving the game (although another game was scheduled immediatley after that game)

Honestly, it probably has something to do with the massive amount of concrete In big cities. That shite gets hot and probably messes with the atmosphere and creates a hot zone bubble that isn't really prone to tornadoes.
Also, I have absolutely zero knowledge on this subject and am simply throwing shite at the wall so to speak. But it makes sense, cities are naturally hotter than the surrounding areas so maybe it has something to do with that.
Or maybe the massive amounts of buildings don't allow the circular air flow to form as strongly.
Idk. I'm high as frick.

Its like saying a tornado that hit St. Charles parish is the same is striking the city of New Orleans.
The guy wants to know about tornados hitting the actual cities, not the rural outskirts.

So it must hit City Hall to count. Got it.

You're right. GA beat KY and State the next round in the same day.

how many have hit major cities like Dallas,Atlanta , kansas city, st.Louis , chicago etc...? Can theses things only form over rural areas?
St. Louis got hit hard by a tornado in 2011.

No, but to be 30 minutes away from the actual city is not what I think he was taking about when he said a tornado striking a big city.

It's already been said, but the ratio of land taken up by small towns vs. bigger cities is the primary reason.
I have always wondered why some small towns/areas seem to be tornado magnets while others very rarely if ever see any. For instance, Vilonia AR has had 3 in the last decade or so, while another small town nearby called Maumelle has had zero since history has been kept on the town. They also seem to form a lot on the I30 corridor between Benton and Bryant, AR.
I'm sure there's some sort of scientific reasoning, but it's not like the terrain is any different in any of these places to have an obvious answer like that.

I think it is strictly a matter of probability....large cities cover only a small percentage of land when compared with everything else.
I do however, think that a pretty bad tornado hit Oklahoma city a couple of decades ago and fricked a lot of shite up.
Yep. And the fact that most tornadic activity occurs in areas with few big cities

Wait did someone say Garland and Rowlett are rural? LOL
Have you been in that part of town lately?
That same nado crossed Bush and killed 2 people. NTTA has video of that floating around somewhere.
In fact, if I would of waited to drive home from New Orleans 6 hours later I would of been hitting Sunnyvale in time to say hello to it.
Frick that Tornado. Scary as shite night.

Compared to downtown Dallas, downtown Houston.. yes..
The guy wanted to know why tornados are not prevalent in big cities.. not suburban areas.
Posted on 1/22/17 at 8:46 pm to Tygerfan
Well shite, just how big do you think downtown Dallas is? If a tornado hit Highland Park, would you not count it?

Seems like Moore, OK always gets hit by a big tornado. I think half the city has been wiped out by a tornado 3 times since 99.
