Just so you're aware, the person who describes themselves as Q (the prick from QAnon) isn't the actual Q. John de Lancie is the actually Q. You foolish mortals

Scandinavia is too social-democratic for tornadoes in serious speaking, for whateeever reason (not going into politics/climate-debate) tornado-like phenomena are becoming more common on our side of the Atlantic, and Iberia (Portugal+Spain) experienced some two or three years ago
Anyone here have a tornado or a tornado warning near home?
I'm guessing our terrain makes it difficult for them to form.
I can do upside down chocolate moo things!

It's not impossible to happen, but extremely rare (because they tend to move from centre Atlantic, towards North America, not Europe)2013 Atlantic cyclone summary, shows a nice behavioral pattern
I'm pretty sure that we don't get many serious twisters here. I've been in Southern Queensland a couple of times when what has been described as a "mini cyclone" comes through at night, that seemed like a much milder version of the twisters that hit the US. I've seen one fairly large dust devil and a couple of water spouts well offshore, that's about it.
Quote from: odeon on May 11, 2016, 12:14:02 AMI'm guessing our terrain makes it difficult for them to form.I would think so, but even the foothills of mountainous regions east of The Rocky Mountains in Colorado experience a great many tornadoes. I think the Great Plains of North America are perfect areas for tornadoes to form. Enough said.I know Australia has very large flat areas as well and I would suspect "unstable" atmospheric conditions during their transition from cold weather to warm. I wonder if one of our upside down "friends" could chime in. I would bet they have some tornadoes in that region of the globe as well.
