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.
