The most violent tornado and only F5 tornado recorded in the month of August struck Plainfield, Illinois, southwest of Chicago, on August 28, 1990.
If two tornadoes were to merge, they would combine to form a larger and more destructive tornado. This new tornado could have stronger winds and cause more damage than either of the individual tornadoes on their own.
A tornado and a hurricane cannot "combine" as they operate on different scales. It is fairly common for tornadoes to produce tornadoes.
Tornadoes can occur in any region that has the right atmospheric conditions, not just at the equator. These conditions include warm, moist air meeting cooler, drier air, which can create the necessary rotation for a tornado to form.
Tornado Alley is not an event that occurs on a specific day. It is a nickname for an area in the central United States known for frequent tornado activity due to a combination of geography and weather patterns.

There were no tornadoes in Chicago in 2009.
A tornado can hit a house, but cannot happen indoors.
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.
There is not such thing as a "chemical tornado" a tornado is the result of thermodynamic physical processes.
No. A tornado is a vortex of air. There is no air in space.
It is impossible to predict where the next tornado will occur.
Chicago has been hit by a number of tornadoes. Official records go back as far as 1950. Since then, Chicago itself has been hit by an F2 tornado in March 4, 1961, an F1 tornado on May 29, 1983, and an F0 tornado on September 22, 2006. 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.
