Why do most powerful, violent tornadoes seem to exclusively be a US phenomenon?

482 viewsOtherPlanetary Science

Like, I’ve never heard of a powerful tornado in, say, the UK, Mexico, Japan, or Australia. Most of the textbook tornadoes seem to happen in areas like Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. By why is this the case? Why do more countries around the world not experience these kinds of storms?

The US has the advantage of a lot of space and a lot of people (so they get observed).

Per area, the UK has the most tornedos in the world.
