There are four main reasons we rarely hear about tornadoes in other countries:

  1. Tornadoes are more common in the U.S. than in other countries.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. The news media in the U.S. are more concerned about events within the U.S. than those outside it.

Are there any tornadoes in Greece?

Yes, there are, but they do not appear as often as in other countries. Rarely do we hear them in the news. Every year there are about 8 land tornados and 10 waterspouts in Greece.


Why do you never hear of tornadoes anywhere else but the US?

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.


What animal that predict the tornadoes?

There is not real scientific evidence that animals predict tornadoes. Tornadoes come with thunderstorms, and some animals, such as dogs, may hear the thunder before we do, but it is unlikely that they can actually predict tornadoes.

Why does England not have any tornadoes?

England does get tornadoes, however, the vast majority are weak and are unlikely to be reported beyond local news. The last significant tornado in England was an F2 that hit Birmingham in 2005. England is not prone to the violent tornadoes you often hear about in the United States because it has a rather cool climate. The storms that produce strong tornadoes generally need a supply of hot, humid air among other conditions.
