researchers looked at 60 years worth of climatological data from the National Weather Service’s Storm Prediction Center, and found tornadoes touch down most often in “transition zones” – areas where a dramatic change in landscape takes place. In other words, where tall buildings end and farmlands begin, or where a forest stops and the plains start.

Lmao...
All those McMansions on Highland road directed the storm to Golds Gym?
No tall buildings in Oklahoma City? Or Atlanta?
I could point you to countless studies that laugh at the one you dug up. Just good Tornado myths its generally #1 or #2 on every list.

Just the latest half-witted troll that can google some weaksauce links to make his point.
On a more pleasant note, I got the tornado room all stocked up. I don't feel that I procrastinated as we weren't actually under a Watch until I was done.
Mrs. Vette was OK w/ the timing as long as I had the Tito's in there for her.

Nevermind the fact that where the tornado in Prairieville touched down was all cow pasture 25 years ago. Hence, the name of the community.
He acts like some developer came in and threw a bunch of dirt on a marsh. It's not "lowlands" where all this happened. I don't think that area has ever flooded either, even though the flood insurance maps say it does. That's why there was such an uproar some years ago when the insurance commissioner allowed the maps to be redrawn. A lot of folks say he received kickbacks behind that, but that's an entirely different topic.
Kujo= king of the slap dicks for today.

Booze is the universal key to disaster relief after having insurance and cash.
I used to love working in Highland Park Village in Dallas...er... Highland Park.
Place was made of concrete...built in the 20s...bunch of low-slung buildings that all had basements...where our wine room was. I figured if we were hit by a tornado - We'd be safe, buzzed and with a high likelihood there's be loose gemstones everywhere amongst the debris.

I lived in Dallas in 2000 when a bad storm fricked up Forth Worth. Downtown was fricked. Lucky it happened at night.
I was actually on a SW plane heading for Love Field when that shite was coming through. Scary landing to say the least.

"We heard the roar and then all the windows busted in," Nieswiadomy said, "so we got in this little hallway. There were doors at each end, and the wind slammed them right through the door facings. An investigator told us later that the wind inside my house was 200 mph. The devastation was unbelievable."

That video is not worthy of UPDATED VIDEO in all caps.

Just since you asked, homes are cheap and if people re-gentrified the area instead of white flight, they'd quadruple their money and not have to worry about weather hazards....not to mention traffic.

Great idea. Go buy you a home on Scenic Hwy.

if you look at long term real estate cycles of areas, larger than ours, the initial move is to sprawl(flight to new developments), but as more and more do this, traffic and cost become increasingly prohibitive.
As the city center is left, prices drop, and eventually hit a point where the new generation says frick it and starts buying in the area, and the sprawl deteriorates.
Look at New Orleans, first flight to metairie, then Kenner, then Mandeville....now all of a sudden you have the CBD and the marigny district and others experiencing demographic shits the past 10 years.
I don't believe it will be next year, but the heart of Baton Rouge is coming back.
ETA: and "smaller homes" will be the trend as people aren't having 3+ kids anymore.
So forget 5bd, 2.5ba, 1 acre...45 min commute for $250, when you can get a 2bd, 2ba, quaint home in an up and coming area for $90,000-$125,000(transitional areas)
