not very likely as even though we are an island and located very close to the sea, we are not in a seismic region and therefore the chances of earthquakes and ultimately tsunamis are like a 100000000-1

Possibilities of a tsunami occurring in kent?

A tsunami is suspected to have occured after the 1580 Dover earthquake, which some scientisits believed caused an undersea landslide which triggered a tsunami, which was previously put down to seiches. This is a potential future trigger of a tsunami in Kent, although another more relistic one is an earthquake off Portugal, where one occured in 1755 and sent a tsunami to Cornwall, although if the waves did reach Kent they would probably be quite small.

Has a tsunami ever hit England?

It is not possible to make projections about the distant future, as "ever" is a very long time. Under current conditions, Great Britain could experience a tsunami from an earthquake and/or submarine landslide in the North Sea, off the Norwegian coast, which would affect Scotland and the Yorkshire coast, or from a landslide at La Palma, which would affect the Cornwall coast. Both risks are quite low and we're probably talking about a 2-meter tsunami, at most.

How many tornadoes happen in the UK?

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.
