According to Science News, if you pick a random point in the part
of the USA that is most prone to tornadoes, you can expect that
point to be hit by a serious tornado about once every 4,000 years.
That's not enough to worry about.

Except that tornados aren't distributed randomly across the US; there
are areas that get a lot of them and there are areas that get few of
them.

And both the OP and the article addressed this. It is 1 in 4,000 years in
the area MOST PRONE to tornados.
