Tornadoes About the World
Are there tornadoes in Germany? If not, why the heck not?
———- from Brian H of Lansing, MI
Nope. The Teutonic sense of order would never allow such a thing. Italy, however, enjoys its numerous twisters, and the Spanish and Portugese can’t seem to get enough of their beloved “El Grande Vavarooma.” Once there was a tornado in Switzerland, but it was immediately arrested and deported. To Italy, I think. Thousands of tornadoes occur every day in Libya, but no one seems to notice. As anyone who knows the movie “The Wizard of Oz”, (based, of course, on the album “Dark Side of the Moon”) both Kansas and Pink Floyd have had their share of twisters. But these are no longer the scourge they were, at least in Kansas, thanks to the strictly enforced 65 mph speed limit.
