So pleased we don't get force fives like our colonial cousins but even the little ones are doing damage in the UK.

Now please forgive me if I am wrong but this is the sixth or seventh in the last few years to do damage if we include that water spout a few years ago. ( nothing compared with what places like Oklahoma get)

Prepping against twisters is not an issue we often cover on SUK, perhaps we should. As the chaps overseas know full well its almost impossible to tornado proof your house without spending insane amounts of money. But there is plenty you can do if you get any warning to reduce the risk of harm to yourself.

Lets hope this is not a growing trend.
For land mass vs hurricane/tornado frequency, I heard the UK has the highest rate going. Might be a myth.....one minute and a Google check will help.
