I guess the biggest difference is our weathermen are good enough to see where they are going to hit in time for camera crews to get pics.

As far as tornadoes, it is more to do of location than wise weatheman. The beginnings of tornado occur in Okla., Kansas/Colorado, and Texas. So they are late in the afternoon with still daylight. They occur over a relatively flat area, treeless and open. The storms generated here move east and end up hitting area there closer to sundown and further east well into the night. The terrain is more up and down and more forested and also more urban areas. The result is a lot more local driving forces from uneven terrain and not the easier landscapes of the High Plains. It is just easier to judge storms in Oklahoma.
