Tornadoes hit Wales and Midlands

We get tornados around here and there ain't no mountains, man. We do have gigantic fresh water lakes. Maybe,those big waves make the wind ricochet.
... and the nearest little ones are a few hundred miles downwind. The nearest mountains UPWIND, from whence our weather comes, are well over 2,000 miles away.
Birmingham isn't near any mountains, but that got hit by tornadoes several years ago.
The tornadoes probably travelled there from the Pennines or the Brecon Beacons.
... which are pretty close. The montains that theotically would make our tornados are as far from us as Moscow is from you.
Maybe, just maybe, there is another cause.
So are the Rocky Mountains. There are no mountains of any description in Ontario, nor up wind to us in Manitoba, Saskatchewan or most of Alberta. They are over 2000 miles away and yet, we still manage to get killer tornadoes.
P.S. Buy yourself a globe or a good atlas. That little speck on zero longitude is the UK. Superimpose that speck on any part of Canada and you might get an idea of the scalar differences between us.
That's certainly not true.
That depends on how far "zoomed out" you are when looking at it.
Actually, dipshyte, there are no mountains, here. That is why we use nuclear in Ontario to generate electricity .. not nearly enough hydro potential. Most of our hydro generation is from the height difference between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. There are no big rises of land, here just a few little bumps here and there.
You are talking out of your ****, yet again, eh?
You don't need mountains for hydro dams....
4 Proposed hydroelectric sites - Kapuskasing River - Ontario Rivers Alliance
Kapuskasing lake elevation 312 meters
Kapuskasing town elevation 218 meters
And they already had two built in the last few years between the lake and the town and several more built years ago between here and James bay

Stinson and McVities on Wahnapitei River haven't generated power in years - but they're OPG and have to be maintained. Ontario CHOSE the nukes over water if only to be a braggart
