johnh Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 According to the paper today, Britain is the most tornado-struck country, for its size, in the world. Apparently, the epicentre is Berkshire. Having said that, I have lived in Berkshire for 40 years and never seen one - yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though we only have tiddlers most of the time, very rare there's any real damage done so hardly on a par with the monsters they get in the US. Along similar lines I experienced an earthquake "cluster" in Greece ten years ago, the biggest (and first) being a 5.6; a really incredible experience and one I'm glad I had, though obviously I wouldn't wish the consequences of the big ones on anyone.
