What do you get when you add a rhetorical question and a condescending answer together?

I'm surprised you had any doubt, the maths is very basic, its literally just tornados/land area. If you have any other basic maths problems you're worried about, just ask.

The snowstorm was in 2010/2011 but the beast from the east was in 2018

'credit'? Its not a competition. Everyone knows the US has more and worse tornados its just that the UK has more relative to its size, but much less serious. So the answer to your question is yes, the small island would have more, thats how maths works.

What a weird way to try and take credit away from somewhere else. So if a tiny island had 2 tornados, would they have the most tornados in the world relative to its area?

London got hit by a tornado while I was living there.
It was about as dangerous as a sleeping poodle.

Doesn’t that have to do with our brain storing the names of people we love in the same region? I thought I read that somewhere, I’ll have to look it up.
Edit. https://www.zmescience.com/science/news-science/mixing-people-names/ here’s one article I found

Nah us midlanders are stoic. Making a big deal out of hardship is for Northerners and Southerners, those of us blessed to be from the West Midlands just shrug and gerr on wi it.

It is a strange moment when they start doing something of their own volition that indicates higher intelligence. Recently, my GSD-Black Lab mix found a slice of pizza in our back yard, and brought it to our back door to wait for us.
I saw her sitting there with it in her mouth and said aloud "The fuck is that?" to my wife as I got up from the couch, and opened the door to get it from her. She trot past me before I could grab her by the collar to take it, went straight to the trash can in the kitchen, and dropped the slice right at the foot of it. I'd never seen anything like that from a dog, it was honestly kind of incredible. Never trained her to do anything like that, and she must've pieced together by her own reasoning and observation that "Old food goes in the all gone box."

Does that include Northern Ireland or is it just the island of Britain?

One of the reasons the Met Office gave for moving to Exeter is 'the weather there is... complicated.'

Our meteorologists play constantly on hard mode as a result.
