I live right next to Oklahoma, about 80 miles due east of Tulsa. We get tornado warnings ALL THE TIME for the county in OK immediately to our west (Delaware), and they sometimes turn on for Benton Co, too. But something about the mountains causes it mostly to dissipate before it gets here. Like the Arkansas state line is some kind of barrier. There is a sign in my town that says "welcome to God's country--where Jesus is lord" (yes, I know) So maybe that's it. lol. The storms literally skirt south or north more than they come over.
eta: Cammack Village is north of Cantrell in an old part of Little Rock. I know how to get there, but not exactly where it is. It used to be an actual town, but Little Rock swallowed it up.
To be fair, two summers ago we had straight line winds that pushed over two trees in our yard. But my house has been here for 110 years, so I hope it's at least safe for a little while longer.
