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.
Tornadoes are rare in Alaska due to its cold climate and geographic location. However, there have been a few reported tornadoes in the past, but they are extremely uncommon compared to areas in the central United States known as "Tornado Alley."
States that typically do not get hit by tornadoes include Alaska, Hawaii, Nevada, and Arizona. These states have lower instances of tornadoes compared to the Central Plains states like Oklahoma, Kansas, and Texas.
:( every state has a tornado. Alaska has even had a tornado
I think is Alaska Hawaii and Puerto Rico bicause Alaska doesn't have hot air and tornado does need hot air. Hawaii and Puerto Rico are bicause most of the tornados accure over water (waterspout)
Correct, most tornadoes do not last more than a few minutes. Stronger tornadoes tend to last longer than weaker ones, though, so many of the major tornadoes that make national headlines will last more than just a few minutes.

So far there have been no tornadoes recorded in Alaska in 2011. In the past 60 years the state has only has 3 recorded tornadoes. All rated F0.
Tornadoes are very rare in Alaska and Hawaii, not common. Alaska's cold climate makes it difficult for strong thunderstorms to form. Since Hawaii is tropical it is not prone to the frontal systems that produce most tornadoes.
Yes in every state. Not all states have violent tornadoes but all states have reported at least a few weak tornadoes, even Alaska and Hawaii.

There is none. All 50 states have had tornadoes. Even Alaska has had 4.
Yes. Since record keeping began in 1950 Alaska has had 4 tornadoes and Hawaii has had 39.

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.

Alaska's climate is not conducive to the formation of tornadoes because the state lacks the necessary conditions for them to occur. Tornadoes typically form in regions where warm, moist air collides with cool, dry air, and Alaska's cold climate and geographical location make it unlikely for these conditions to come together.
