Tornadoes are not usually represented on a weather map. When they are, the most common symbol is a triangle with one corner pointing down.

On a weather map, a tornado is often symbolized by a rotating circle or triangle with a tail or hook shape, indicating the high winds and rotation associated with a tornado. Tornado symbols are usually colored in red to highlight the severe weather threat. Additionally, warning boxes or polygons may be used to outline the potential tornado path and affected areas.

There is no such thing as "earthquake weather." Tornadoes and hurricanes are both violent storms and therefore forms of extreme weather. Earthquakes are geologic events and are not weather-related.

What is Freak Weather Conditions?

Freak Weather Conditions (or Extreme Weather Conditions) are when weather conditions that are unusually severe occur. It could also apply to weather conditions that are unusual for the part of the world they occur in, or the time of year they occur at. For example, a large tornado that causes a lot of damage would be a Freak Weather Condition for England, because we don't tend to get many tornadoes here, and those that we do get rarely get more severe than an F2.

Is the oak lawn tornado outbreak the only tornado near Chicago?

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.
