Learn about SimCity 2000 tornadoes: how they appear, what they destroy, and how to recover from their path.
Tornadoes are easily recognizable as brown vortices of dust and debris traversing the cityscape. Their path is randomly determined, although they generally follow a straight line. Tornadoes will randomly appear anywhere in your city (even over water), then move in any direction, typically disappearing off the edge of the map into electronic oblivion. They destroy everything in their path, and can sometimes disperse pretty quickly if they've destroyed a great deal of property. There is apparently a threat of fire, although the risk is small to nil. They are definitely more prevalent on flat terrain.
When tornadoes have done their business, simply reconstruct your roads and power lines, along with any civic buildings that were destroyed.
- Tornadoes can appear anywhere, including over water.
- They typically move in a straight line before disappearing off the map.
