Fort Worth sits in the heart of Tornado Alley and has been struck by significant tornadoes multiple times in its history. The March 2000 tornado caused over $450 million in damage across the city. Fort Worth's location at the intersection of major storm tracks from the southwest and northwest makes it particularly vulnerable to violent spring weather. The Trinity River creates additional flooding risk across low-lying neighborhoods.
