not true.
check out videos of tornadoes with inside Chicago city limits.

Just started reading these if anyone else still is here you go. Yes there was a couple tornados that hit Oak Lawn before the one in 1967 they were small not much o talk about. I was in the Oak Lawn Roller Rink that day practicing for a skating contest. trust me when I tell you to respect even the thought of a tornado hitting. You do not have to be out of a city limit. They hit wherever they want and when they want. They are attracted to water so the city of Chicago would be a prime target. After being in one, being buried alive for hours, sustaing many injuries and losing some friends, I can tell you this, it is usually the people you hear that were never in one that know everything about them, or they were in the roller rink or fairplay foods when they really never were. You don't want to experience it I promise you that.
