The United States gets the most tornados than any other country, nearly four times more than Europe, excluding the small stuff.
This is most due to the fact that there aren't any major east to west mountain ranges to impede a torndadoes progress, like other countries and continents have in their topography. America is surrounded by oceans and the Gulf of Mexico, all of which are liable to have storms of all kinds, especially when the Atlantic tagteams with the Gulf, which results in a Katrina.
