Are large cities protected from tornadoes? Give an example that supports your answer
What will be the ideal response?
ANSWER: It is a myth that larger cities such as Los Angeles, California, and New York City are somehow protected from tornadoes. On March 1, 1983, a rare tornado cut a 5-km swath of destruction through downtown Los Angeles, damaging more than 100 homes and businesses, and injuring 33 people. And during the summer of 2010, three tornadoes actually touched down in New York City. One tornado (on July 25) caused only minimal damage but injured seven people.
