Sounds like you have no idea what your on about.

Not true. Philadelphia, MS was also smash by a big tornado in 2011.

Several California cities not on the list that are well known by name or I would think people would know which state they are located in when these names come up.

Sacramento
Oakland
Long Beach
Compton

Maybe:

Gary
Birmingham- It was actually named after the one in England. However, I would assume in the USA people think this is in reference to AL.
Jacksonville
Orlando

Long Beach isn't unique. There's one in Washington at least.

Oakland maybe, but it's also not unique. Pittsburgh's comes to mind (a major district).

Compton no way, despite some notoriety.

Sacramento sure.

Birmingham I doubt. The England issue, plus it's kind of off the radar.

Jacksonville and Orlando yes.
