It is common belief that more tornadoes happen in the UK than in the US (tornado ally included) - Although US tornadoes are way bigger and stronger than those in the UK and so more are likely to be noticed and therefore recorded.

Does a tornado happen often or seldom?

It depends on where you live. Tornadoes happen fairly often in the US as a whole, mostly during the spring or fall. However, they typically affect a very limited area. Even though the US is the most tornado-prone area in the world (for example, Europe is slightly larger than the US, but the US has four times as many tornadoes), there are almost no intense (>3 on the Fujita scale) tornadoes west of the Rocky Mountains.
