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

492 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?

Canada has them as well.

And as of 5-7 years ago they’ve gotten worse.

Ottawa now has multiple tornado warnings every summer , and we’ve have 2 in the last couple years that hit around the city.

That was when I bought a generator.
