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.

Why will Alaska likely never have any tornado?

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.
