There was a tornado in Suffolk, UK last week – but a very small one. It made the news! Just some garden furniture blowing around a business’s yard quite violently, a couple of people getting knocked about, etc.
They do occur in the UK, but mostly we’re talking about damaged roofs, stuff getting blown about, and so on. Maybe some injuries caused by flying roof tiles.
