It has most likely been a matter of chance. Where tornadoes occur is essentially random with respect to where we build our cities and towns. Since it is random, then by simple probability some areas will be hit an inordinate number of times while others will almost never be hit.

No state is completely safe, however, strong tornadoes are very rare in and to the west of the Rockies. Tornadoes are also very rare in Alaska and Hawaii. The states of the northeast are also not hit often, but have still had a few tornadoes of F4 strength and at least one F5.
