I get a kick out of the brits. They do have tornadoes there. Small ones.
I told one group the last time I was there in a pub, 15 years ago or so, what the hell would you guys do if you had one over a mile wide and rated F5? Like the one that hit OK several years ago.
I also told them that some of those suck the blacktop right off the roads when they pass over.
You all ought to have seen the look on their faces.
Reminds me of my first typhoon in Japan.
I walked out the door to go to a convenience store, and the Japanese were freaking out. I asked what was wrong and they told me that it was dangerous because it was in the middle of a typhoon.
I asked, “This is a typhoon? Texas thunderstorms are worse than this”.
