Depends on what you're comparing it to. Do you mean fewer tornadoes than in Oklahoma, or simply compared to other parts of North Carolina? If you're comparing to Oklahoma, the difference in number of tornadoes has more to do with climate than geography. Compared with other parts of North Carolina, the rugged terrain may play a role in blocking moisture and inhibiting tornadic thunderstorms from organizing.
