Yes, Chicago can experience both earthquakes and tornadoes. While rare, earthquakes can occur in the region due to the New Madrid Seismic Zone. Tornadoes are more common, with the city being in the Tornado Alley region, experiencing severe weather and occasional tornado outbreaks.
When the eye of a tornado becomes more intense and destructive than the larger tornado, it is known as a "tornado within a tornado" or a "satellite tornado." This phenomenon occurs when a smaller, more powerful vortex forms within the main tornado circulation.
A tornado alarm is a warning system that is used to alert people of an impending tornado. It is typically a loud siren or whistle that sounds when a tornado is spotted or conditions are favorable for one to occur, allowing residents to seek shelter and take necessary precautions.

Chicago has been hit by a number of tornadoes. Official records go back as far as 1950.

Even more tornadoes have hit the greater Chicago area. The worst of these was the F4 that hit Oak Lawn on April 21, 1967. Before official records, in 1871 an F3 tornado tore through downtown Chicago.
