Best Answer

There are a number of factors. First of all, the ultimate source of a tornado's energy is warm, moist air. Connecticut does not have a climate hot enough for high tornado activity. Second, the types of fronts that often produce tornadic thunderstorms on the Great Plains are often weaker by the time they reach the eastern U.S. and the thunderstorms less organized.
