Tornadoes also form in other parts of the world. Copied from Wikipedia, they are also common in Europe, South Africa, Philippines, Bangladesh, parts of Argentina, Uruguay, and southern and southeastern Brazil, northern Mexico, New Zealand, and far eastern Asia. I believe tornadoes are more common in the US cause of the flat ground and the Jet Stream/Gulf of Mexico, both of which allow for a lot of tornado activity.
