At a staff meeting earlier this week, our manager was going over emergency weather procedures for the building. We were primarily talking about the ice storms we have had lately and the upcoming tornado season.
On a whim, one of the guys on our staff asked the one British RA we have if there are tornados in England and, without hesitation, she said no.
I guess I had assumed that tornados were just kind of universal, like wind but...windier.
Is she crazy or is it true? Are there other places that have never seen tornados (I'm looking at Australia here)?

America is known as the location in the world where a vast majority of tornadoes are located. Start watching more of the weather channel.

the national geographic channel should do a program on simulated natural disaster battles.
you know, like the computer animated fights between sharks and bears with all the scientific research behind it. only this time, it would be hurricanes against earthquakes and whatnot.
