Yes, the midwest is known as "The Tornado Belt" and they have many more tornado bearing storms however, the coasts and areas near gulfs are much more likely to be affected with storms because many storms form over the vast bodies of waters on our planet and they may tend to run aground. Coasts also get Hurricane's. The WEST coast however, has fewer storms than most the rest of the US though.

Why do tornadoes start in certain places?

Tornadoes can occur in most areas, but they occur more frequently in some places thanin others. Tornadoes form best under a given set of circumstances when a mass of cool and/or dry air pushes into a warm, moist unstable air mass with the right setup of wind shear, or a difference in wind speed and dirction with height. This leads to the formation of rotating thunderstorms that can spawn tornadoes. This setup occurs more frequently in some areas than in others.
