I am from Fayetteville, Arkansas. It looks like we are listed as a 4 (the most frequent in the US!!!) We have only one recorded tornado in American history ever as far as I’m aware of and based on my 15 page research assignment at the University of Arkansas. The year was 1812 If I remember correctly, and this was an F0 tornado that tore some roofing and did minimal damage to some Dickson Street & College Avenue buildings or homes close to the intersection. We are part of the ozark mountain region and our hills have almost always seemed to create an unfavorable environment for tornadoes, and before they start, they usually tend to fall apart. Note, I am not saying I disagree with your map for the surrounding areas, as the flat land areas east and west of Fayetteville tend to be more favorable.
