Is a tornado attracted to certain type of topography such as does a tornado prefer flat land to mountains and hills?

Flat land allows for easier air flow and less friction, which can contribute to the development and strength of tornadoes. However, tornadoes can still occur in mountainous or hilly regions under certain conditions.
