When land areas are taken into account, the United Kingdom actually has the highest frequency of reported tornadoes per unit area in the world. This was first recognised by an American meteorologist, Dr. T. Fujita, in 1973.

I've read that tornados can occur pretty much anywhere but The USA and India are the most common places.

I'll still take your frequency of storms over our ferocity of twisters any day.
