tornadoes don't touch down in cities that often because 95% of US land is rural. only 1% is city and 4% is suburban. so there is only one percent chance of a tornado hitting your cities land. but they do happen Miami, Houston/fort worth, and Oklahoma City have all been hit by tornadoes in the last ten years.

What does more damage tornadoes or earthquakes?
Overall, highly destructive earthquakes cause more damage than the worst tornadoes. Outside of the most destrcutive events, however, they must bes assessed on an individual scale. In both tornadoes and earthquakes, some are highly destructive while others cause minimal damage. Earthquakes do have more potential to cause damage as they cover larger areas while tornadoes cause very localized damage.It depends on the size of them. I would think possibly a tornado?an earthquake cause after the main earthquake hits which last for few seconds up to minutes property would be sometimes less damage but the aftershocks causes property to be more damage like houses being destroy more or buildings collapsed and they can also cause tsunamis and volcanoes and the damage of property would be high up in the billionsan tornado cause less damage cause even though their winds are high they can really still cause less damage like destroying houses completely and destroy buildings but not collapsed them or level them off their foundation and tornadoes dont do other secondary hazards even though after the first tornado to form a second tornado may appeared but still even if that happens tornadoes can still cause less damage and tornadoes go a straight path so they wont be able to destroy the whole city or county tornadoes can have moved more than a 100 miles but their straight path cause less damage
Are there different kinds of tornadoes?
there are a few different kinds. the main kind of tornado develops during a supercell thunderstorm. another, generally weaker (but not always), kind develops during relatively calm weather under growing cumulus congestus clouds, called landspouts or waterspouts. there is another kind where the funnel usually doesnt touch the ground called cold core funnels. they usually develop during cloudy days and just kind of sit right underneath the cloud. these rarely become tornadoes because they usually dont touch the ground. occasionally forest fires can cause hot air to rise and condense into a cloud. if a fire whirl connects from that cloud to the ground, this is technically a tornado.
What do you do when you come across a tornado?
when there are dark clouds haning around look in any direction for a funnel shaped object coming towards the sky if you see it touch the ground then it is a tornado and you should get inside and get your emergency kit ready go to your basement

Did Chicago have tornadoes before people settled there and eventually built it into a city?
You know, this kind of reminds me of the riddle, if a tree falls in a forest, and no one is around, does it make a sound? I'm going to say yes, because tornadoes dont just come around when there's no people around. Additionally, there have been tornadoes in Chicago since its establishment.
