Interesting question that shows the typical risk assessment of many. Why do people live in areas with faults? Why do people live near oceans that could have tidal waves or hurricanes? Why do people live in deserts where water is scarce? Why do people live in places with high crime rates?
More to the point would be why do people play the lottery? The chances of being hit by a tornado inside the center of "tornado alley" is less then the chances of winning the lottery ten times.
The odds are that even if you live inside this area, you will never even see a tornado. Living in the southern coastal towns there is a certainty you will be hit by a hurricane. Do people run in fear there? Some may, but a rational human will see the risk is very low.

Can areas that have little or no record of tornadoes still have tornadoes?
Yes. In some cases the absence of tornado records is due to a lack of documentation rather than a lack of tornadoes. In other cases an area may experience tornadoes so infrequently that none have occurred since before people were around to document them. If a place has little record of tornadoes, that still means tornadoes have been recorded in that area.
Do tornadoes happen in Reading Pennsylvania?
Yes. Tornadoes can happen almost anywhere. The Reading area was affected by an F3 tornado in 1950, an F1 tornado in 1963, and an F2 tornado in 1979.
Even though some areas have little or no record of tornado activity can those areas still have tornadoes?
Yes. First, if an area has little record of tornadoes, that still means it has recorded tornadoes even if it has only been a few. A lack of tornado records in an area does not mean there are no tornadoes. In many places tornadoes can be so rare that none have occurred recently enough for people to record them, but they still happen. Sometimes, especially in older times and in sparsely populated areas, some tornadoes that occur are never recorded. It can also depend on how you define an area. A small area avoid being hit by a tornado simply by coincidence, even in a region where tornadoes are common. For example the small town of Pilger, Nebraska had not been hit by a tornado in living memory until one destroyed half of the town in 2014.
Why might people live in an area affected by a tornado?
Technically almost any place can be affected by tornadoes. Tornado Alley, which has a high rate if tornadoes, offers good farmland. Tornadoes are just one hazard, and your chances of taking a direct hit from a strong tornado are actually quite low. Your chances of getting injured or killed by a tornado are even lower. No place is without its hazards. For example: major cities, especially on the east coast of the U.S., have problems with pollution and high crimes rates and far more people in the U.S. are murdered than are killed by tornadoes.

What about hurricanes and tornadoes is true Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes Hurricanes can kill people but tornadoes cannot Hurricanes have strong winds?
Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes. Both hurricanes and tornadoes can be deadly, although hurricanes are more likely to cause widespread destruction due to their larger size and duration. Both hurricanes and tornadoes have strong winds, but hurricanes typically have more sustained, powerful winds over a larger region.
What are the positive effects of a tornadoes?
Tornadoes are density-independent factors that limit population. This is a good thing if there is an overpopulated organism in an area. +++ That's a bit bleak, given that the only "overpopulated organisms" affected are human beings and perhaps farm animals. In a wild area where everyone has chance to escape the tornado's path, they are really just neutral weather events. Their main victims are people.
Is there a spot in a tornado where everything is still?
Some tornadoes have a relatively calm area similar to the eye of a hurricane at their centers, though it is unclear if this area is completely calm.
What effects do tornadoes have on the environment?
Tornadoes are part of our environment but they also destroy our environment like houses, roads, and forests!Tornadoes have very destructive effects on the environment because they spread pollution from people's houses and debris flies everywhere. If people weren't around tornadoes might not have such bad effects. Tornadoes would kill trees and plants and animals but all those decompose. It would give a chance for new plants and animals to populate an area everytime a tornado hit the area.
What does the area look like after tornado how many people die from tornadoes?
It would depend on the severity of the tornado.
