The reason the tornado formed over the city itself is because it was the hottest spot in the area. It has been a characteristic for some of the tornadoes in a hot troposphere.

This was the tornado that occurs in Massachusetts.

City and town are heat sinks. It is irrelevant whether the tornadoes are an outbreak or not, heat sinks are creating their own tornadoes in a hot troposphere.

Officials awaited daybreak to fully assess the scope of the destruction left in the wake of a deadly tornado in Granbury.

I thought tornadoes were becoming such common place in the USA they weren't being noticed in the media, so much as just another weather event. I guess this one is in Texas so 'it matters.
This tornado outbreak, noted below, occurred in January. The first of it's kind for the month of January. We should still be talking about this, but, other than local coverage I think it mostly went unnoticed. So, while everyone is traumatized over the predictable Texas tornado, I thought I'd bring up this historic event.
