One of the Feb 27 tornadoes hit my house. Came out of nowhere.

The house we just sold got smoked by hail in that storm. 118k in damage just from hail. It was nuts.

What are the tornado (or extreme weather in general) stats for other States (the world)?

these really powerful local tornadoes on land are uniquely a USA thing from what I have read as no where else do hot winds from the equator and cold winds from the poles meet directly like this over land
