No. First of all, there seems to be a some confusion here. The Oak lawn tornado outbreak was not a tornado, it was an outbreak of at least 45 tornadoes across the Midwest and Great Lakes regions. Second, the F4 tornado that struck Oak Lawn was not the only tornado in the area of Chicago. Among other events, an F3 tornado struck downtown Chicago in 1871, an F4 tornado hit Bolingbrook in 1976, and an F5 tornado hit Plainfield in 1990.

Why aren't there tornadoes near the coast?
Tornado do happen near and on the coast. It just so happens that the areas that get strong tornadoes (the tornadoes that get all the attention) happen to be inland. The strong thunderstorms that produce most tornadoes form most easily when warm, moist air collides with cool and/or dry air along with a few other conditions. These meet most ideally in inland areas but tornado outbreak along coasts have also ocurred.
