This was the worst one to hit the Central belt in 13 years Bob,we are more susceptible to gales rather than tornadoes.
We catch the heavy stuff coming in from the North Atlantic.
Mind you where I stay has the cover of the Mull of Kintyre and the Isle of Arran,the folks further north in for example Caithness,get the whole nine yards!
Winter storms up there move rocks the size of Stovebolts up the beaches!
Thats why the west coast look like it does.
I drove along a coastal road the other day and the coastline has actually changed......
The difference is the folks there have 'evolved' to live with it.
The townies haven't.
Although.... Britain statistically has more tornadoes than America relative to our land mass,the ones here are nothing like the scale you see in the USA.
Thankfully i've never seen one!
My house is relatively new (8yrs)and stood up to the battering well,and as I said previously, "The Stovebolt Scottish HQ" was OK too...
