Have you been to Oklahoma City, or to Oklahoma in general? This makes as much sense as proposing that an expansive stockyard be constructed in the middle of San Francisco.

Among countless reasons not to build something like this in Oklahoma City, the place is basically nuked by tornados every so often.

Are tornados a threat to skyscrapers?

They won't take the building itself down, but let's just say that whoever owns the local glass shop is going to be a happy camper.

Have you ever been to Oklahoma City yourself. It is not "nuked" by tornadoes all the time like you imply. We've had a couple large ones, and all of you outside idiots think they happen daily. Most tornadoes are small, most Oklahomans have never seen one in their lives. Every city has its own natural disasters. For the record, Oklahoma has the largest casino in the world (https://www.gambling.com/us/online-casinos/strategy/the-7-la...) and that is in freaking Thackerville.
