Subject: RE: Tornado: this happened near my hometown today
Apparently, the most common place for tornadoes is the UK. They aren't very big, though some can do damage. Most don't. I've never seen one, though I have seen a few possible funnel clouds not reaching the ground during a storm in Devon, where one was reported where I wasn't. I have also seen a waterspout off Dover.

Given the difference in scale, energy and damage, to pop up and claim more than America seems a bit thoughtless and pathetic.

Skarpi's is the sort we get, and since we get to share the jet stream at various times, it doesn't surprise me.
