Question: do tornadoes occur in europe?
Answer: Europe is not a tornado-free region. 'In the US, some 1 200 tornadoes are observed every year,' said Dr Pieter Groenemeijer, director of the European Severe Storms Laboratory (ESSL), a non-profit association based in Wessling, near Munich (DE). 'In Europe, we have an average of 300 every year,' he added.
