In Germany, Tornadoes are a very rare thing compared to the US, especially F4 or F5 tornados. And european windstorm is more likely, but even then we just go to our homes until the storm is over, no need to go into the cellar. (the way most houses are build, you are not that much more protected in the cellar either way...after all, we tend to build our homes like fortresses, nearly every house has a cellar, and nearly all of them are build out of stone rather than wood or other materials.)
We are really lucky here. We don't get this really extreme weather (or strong earthquakes, or have active vulcanos), but yes, the last two winter, when the snowfall became heavier than usual, it put nearly everything out of comission, especially at places where normally isn't snow at all.
