Yes we do, even here in little old Ireland. But they're small and short lived. There does seem to be a mini tornado alley in County Meath. I remember leaving work once seeing some ominous skies nearby with reports of a tornado ripping through a nearby housing development. It also brought down some huge trees.

They are quite common but nowhere near the intensity you guys experience. There are plenty of vides on Youtube.

There was quite a nasty one in Birmingham, England a few years ago. Did a lot of damage to one particular area.

He is talking about the plane, "Tornado"

I got the joke but I believe he was talking about actual tornadoes. Considering the smaller land area of the UK, that's conceivable. The US has many more but dividing by sq mi of the entire country would dilute the number.

exactly - over 100 tornados a year but our little island is only 600miles long. :)
