It doesn't matter if it is a huge city, or a small house. It all depends on the weather conditions in that area.

Do mini tornadoes happen where big ones happen?
That depends on what you mean by "mini tornado" as it has no real definition. If you mean small, weak tornadoes, then yes. Even in areas prone to large tornadoes, the smaller ones will still be in the majority. However, weak tornadoes are rarely heavily covered unless they strike in places not not normally associated with tornadoes.
What cities do not have hurricanes or tornadoes?
Cities that are inland are safe from hurricanes, but just about no place habitable to humans is immune to tornadoes. However in the U.S. west of the Rockies strong tornadoes are rare. Cities such as Phoenix and Los Angeles have seen tornadoes in the general vicinity, but they are almost invariably weak.
