Tornadoes are more common along some places on the east coast, such as the Southeastern United States, due to the interaction of warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and cool, dry air from the north. This creates favorable conditions for thunderstorms and tornado formation. Additionally, the flat terrain of the region allows for easier tornado formation compared to areas with more rugged topography.

Tornado do happen near and on the coast. It just so happens that the areas that get strong tornadoes (the tornadoes that get all the attention) happen to be inland. The strong thunderstorms that produce most tornadoes form most easily when warm, moist air collides with cool and/or dry air along with a few other conditions. These meet most ideally in inland areas but tornado outbreak along coasts have also ocurred.
