Why do tornadoes and hurricanes avoid major cities?
They don't. In regard to tornadoes, the downtown areas of major cities are relatively small targets, making them easy to miss. However, major cities have been hit by significant tornadoes including Birmingham, Alabama; Forth Worth, Texas; Salt Lake City, Utah; St Louis, Missouri; Nashville, Tennessee; and Raleigh, North Carolina among others. Weak tornadoes have even hit New York City. For hurricanes the size of a city isn't as much of an issue as hurricanes are enormous compared with tornadoes and affect very large areas. However, hurricanes are limited in where they can occur to relatively warm ocean water. Cities that are inland generally cannot be reached by hurricanes. Cold water and winds off the U.S. Pacific coast and westward-blowing winds in the hurricane forming regions to the south make it nearly impossible for hurricanes to strike the U.S. west coast. Cold water off the northeast coast also suppresses hurricanes, but a few have slipped through to New England. Most hurricanes in the U.S. hit the Gulf coast or the southern Atlantic coast. Major U.S. cities that have been hit hard be hurricanes include Galveston, Texas; Mobile, Alabama; Miami, Florida; and Providence, Rhode Island.
