We get quite a lot but most of them are not that bad.

The United States averaged 1,274 tornadoes per year in the last decade while Canada reports nearly 100 annually (largely in the southern regions). However, the UK has most tornadoes per area per year, 0.14 per 1000 kmĀ², although these tornadoes are generally weak, and many other European countries have a similar number of tornadoes per area.
I wasn't in the UK at the time so I missed this one:

There are some decent videos on YouTube of guys in England who recorded tornadoes from their bedrooms.

Sometimes floods happen but it is true we don't get any extreme weather. That tornado and two small earthquakes are the worst we've had here.
