Even though some areas have little or no record of tornado activity can those areas still have tornadoes?
Yes. First, if an area has little record of tornadoes, that still means it has recorded tornadoes even if it has only been a few.
A lack of tornado records in an area does not mean there are no tornadoes. In many places tornadoes can be so rare that none have occurred recently enough for people to record them, but they still happen. Sometimes, especially in older times and in sparsely populated areas, some tornadoes that occur are never recorded.
It can also depend on how you define an area. A small area avoid being hit by a tornado simply by coincidence, even in a region where tornadoes are common. For example the small town of Pilger, Nebraska had not been hit by a tornado in living memory until one destroyed half of the town in 2014.

Are tornadoes on the rise?
No. Tornado activity fluctuates from one year to the next. At first glance, record would seem to indicate an increase in tornado activity, but this is entirely due to improved technology leading to better detection of weaker tornadoes.. During the spring it can sometimes seem like we are have a lot of tornadoes, but this is actually normal for tornado season.
Can areas of a little record of tornado activity still have tornado activity?
Yes. Little activity is not the same as no activity. For example, Alaska has recorded 4 or 5 weak tornadoes, 3 of which have occurred in the past 10 years. Additionally, records may not reflect actual tornado activity, particularly in sparsely populated areas where a touchdown is less likely to be reported. Additionally, the further back you go the less reliable records become, so it is difficult to assess events that have recurrence intervals of more than a few decades.
How wide and long can a tornado BE?
Tornadoes can vary in width from as little as 10 yards to over a mile wide. The length of a tornado can range from a few hundred yards to over 50 miles, with most tornadoes typically travelling a path of a few miles.
Can areas that have little or no record of tornadoes still have tornadoes?
Yes. In some cases the absence of tornado records is due to a lack of documentation rather than a lack of tornadoes. In other cases an area may experience tornadoes so infrequently that none have occurred since before people were around to document them. If a place has little record of tornadoes, that still means tornadoes have been recorded in that area.
