There were 866 recorded tornadoes in the U.S. in 1980. Note however that at this point in history a significant portion of weak tornadoes were missed and most tornadoes are weak. The actual number of tornadoes was probably significantly higher than this figure.
About 75% of recorded tornadoes strike the United States. This is misleading however, as many countries do not keep records of their tornadoes. The actual number of tornadoes outside the U.S. is not known.
The majority of UK tornadoes are not recorded. So most statistics on the number of recorded tornadoes in the UK are usually around 70. Most UK tornadoes happen in the countryside (so don't get noticed) and are very small (usually). 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. Tornadoes in the UK usually happen in the summer when the weather conditions are right.
No. The reality is that 75% of Earth's recorded tornadoes occur in the United States. The United States is one of few countries to actively monitor and survey tornadoes within its borders, so most tornadoes that strike the U.S. are recorded. In most other countries the majority of tornadoes likely never get recorded, resulting in highly inaccurate statistics.
The U.S. gets 75% of all recorded tornadoes. This is misleading however as many countries do not keep records of their tornadoes and the actual percentage of tornadoes for the U.S. is probably much smaller.
