This is an informal idiom that means 'Why?' It's used without subject-verb inversion. It most likely comes from a historically earlier version like "How does it come about that ...?"

How come Irene is so late? (Why is Irene so late?)
How come the storm didn't affect your town? (Why didn't the storm affect your town?)
How
