Yes, Florida gets tornadoes very frequently, though they are generally weaker than the ones in Tornado Alley.

Florida actually comes in 4th place in tornado frequency behind Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. Some of the tornadoes in Florida actually come from hurricanes.

Why Florida does not have violent tornadoes?

Florida has actually had two violent F4 tornadoes in the past 60 years, but the reason such strong tornadoes are so rare has to do with the climate. Tornadoes form in very strong thunderstorms called supercells, which form best near boundaries with large contrasts in temperature and/or moisture content. In Florida, which is nearly tropical, the temperature contrasts tend to be small, and so the storms are generally not intense enough to produce strong tornadoes.
