moderate,Atlanta faces moderate but real tornado risk as demonstrated by the March 2008 EF2 tornado that struck downtown Atlanta during SEC tournament games at the Georgia Dome — one of the few major US cities to experience a tornado in its urban core. The Chattahoochee River creates flooding risk on the city's western edge. Atlanta's position as a major transportation and logistics hub means emergency events have national economic implications beyond the immediate region.
