For years, we thought that something about how cities affected the environment made them "tornado-proof" - that wind had trouble gathering in the city. I think Oklahoma City had a tornado in the suburbs, but there's never been one downtown in a major city, as far as i know. Watching the highlights from last night was pretty sick - that's insane, really.
Not only is it scary, but it's groundbreaking, in a bad way.

I posted this in another thread, but both downtown Fort Worth and downtown Nashville have had pretty significant tornadoes in the past 10 or so years. There were many buildings completely damaged in the Fort Worth tornado, including one that was maybe 30 stories and was left inhabitable. The Fort Worth tornado hit around 7pm, so all the 9-5 folks had gone home. I can't remember what time of day the Nashville one hit.
