A Question for all the European Folks

[kriadydragon]

Actually it's my mom's question. She's been curious as to whether or not tornadoes happen anywhere in Europe. I'm curious to know where else besides the US tornadoes happen. I know they occur in Australia but where else? Who else has to suffer tornado warnings, wall clouds, huddling in basements and leaky cellars and the terror of storm chasers screaming about how a tornado is heading right down the street you happen to live on? I hate tornado season :S

We have tornadoes fairly often here in Tennessee. I have a closet under the stairs and use it frequently.
In 1998 we had one come through my city, Clarksville, Tn, and it totally destroyed our downtown area. We're still rebuilding. It was really odd I woke up because it was too quiet. I guess it had gone through and we had slept through it, then when it was over I woke up. I went downstairs, it was about 4:00am, and turned on the news and the reports were just starting to come in to the media. Luckily no one was killed.
