There are a few reasons why we rarely hear of tornadoes in other countries. First of all, the United States actually does get more tornadoes, and particularly more strong tornadoes than any other country due to the climate setup in the central parts of the country, which is ideal for tornadoes. This is particularly true of the very violent tornadoes that cause significant enough damage to be picked up by national and international news networks. Less significant tornadoes sometimes get mentioned, but such mention is usually only brief.
Another reason is that the Unite States has the best system of documenting tornadoes. The next highest rate of violent tornadoes appears to be in India and Bangladesh where there is no documentation system for tornadoes. This moves on to the next point of ethnocentrism: news networks will generally take more interest in events that occur in developed nations, and especially in their own nation. So tornadoes that occur outside the U.S. will get less coverage by U.S. news networks.

Why don't we hear about tornadoes in other countries than the US?

There are four main reasons we rarely hear about tornadoes in other countries:Tornadoes are more common in the U.S. than in other countries.Tornadoes outside the U.S. are generally not as strong and so are less likely to kill or cause major damage that might result in an international news story.Many countries do not have a system of tracking and recording tornadoes as the U.S. does, so many tornadoes that do occur never get reported.The news media in the U.S. are more concerned about events within the U.S. than those outside it.
