YesMost of the world's tornadoes occur in this area. This is a unique feature that occurs because of the features stretching from the Pacific Ocean to the start of the alley. It is the only spot in earth that has these features in just the perfect order to create these events. As a result almost all tornadoes occur here in the USA.

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.

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.
