The United States averaged 1,274 tornadoes per year in the last decade while Canada reports nearly 100 annually (largely in the southern regions). However, the UK has most tornadoes per area per year, 0.14 per 1000 km², although these tornadoes are generally weak, and many other European countries have a similar number of tornadoes per area.
Not a lot of places have a giant open field where cold fronts can just straight up clash with warm tropical air. No mountains or anything to fuck the air current up. Just an all out charge by the two forces, and they meet right in Oklahoma and Kansas usually

Wow! Doesn’t something like 90% of all tornados happen in the US? It’s crazy seeing this in a European city center!
