On the tornadoes never come through urban areas myth...

I was in Chicago last year when one came right through downtown. Was one of the weirdest things I have ever experienced. They are loud out in the country but amongst the tall buildings and concrete, I thought some sort of plane crash/explosion had happened.

I lived in Dallas in 2000 when a bad storm fricked up Forth Worth. Downtown was fricked. Lucky it happened at night.


That tornado hit 3 places I had lived previously (2 while in college, 1 after). I was having dinner at Cool River (where I worked prior) while my roommate/best friend was working at the Pour House in Sundance Square. It missed her by a block.

Craziest video I ever saw from that one was a recovered security video from the BOH at Reatta... Chef was hurrying the staff into a stairwell and moments after they cleared the kitchen - One of those 200lb metal doors from the walk-in blasted through the line and destroyed EVERYTHING including the camera.

It's an absolute myth that tornadoes don't hit urban areas.

The office building where I used to work in Memphis was partially flattened in the super Tuesday outbreak in 2008. There was a fatality in that storm when the tornado nailed a solar panel manufacturing facility.

That would be cool shite to see. Is it around on the Youtube?

This is worth a look if you've ever been to Forth Worth or want to see what a big arse tornado will do to a sizable downtown skyline. $500m in damage. Wow.
News Clip. That shite WAS HUGE.

I don't think so. I saw a copy of it a friend of mine that did security at Tandy Center showed me.

sounds like you got off cheap.


It's all relative for sure. I know some paying 3 times that and some paying 1/10th that (and the mom is okay with it).
We were just "Average Income" educated parents and went strictly by the child support tables.
