Just felt the house shake 10 minutes ago and Skynews are reporting an Earthquake in my region.
However, the UK actually has the highest frequency of reported tornados in the world - once you take land areas into account. Obviously a large nation will report many tornados simply because of its large area, but when you do the sums, like the American meteorologist Dr T Fujita did in 1973, Britain actually experiences more. It turns out that on average, 33 tornados are reported each year in the UK. This average is based on a 30-year period, though the actual yearly figures may vary dramatically from year to year.

On a similar note did you know the UK has more tornadoes per square mile than the US?

Well thank you for that enlightening one liner, is that not what I just stated?
Fact of the matter is that these things are far from uncommon in the UK yet it appears a lot of people are ignorant.
