Reply to comment by redditmias in TIL We are currently amidst the longest gap between EF5 tornadoes in history by Danielnrg

When was your country's last EF5? Or any other country?

Since 1950, Canada has had one tornado officially rated an F5.[8] Outside the United States and Canada, six tornadoes have been officially rated F5/EF5/T10+ or equivalent: two each in France, Germany, and one in Italy and Argentina.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_F5_and_EF5_tornadoes Does that answer your question?

Yes it does. And it shows that the original OP was true. We, being humanity, are in our longest streak of not having one.

do you realize the article is not about the world? The title was wrong (btw, they added a flair correcting now), there is no way to conclude from the article that that was true and talking about the whole world, because it ONLY talks about the united states, but whatever

And? It's an American news article. Why would it NOT be about the US? And OP posted it saying "we", which is factually true no matter how you slice it. So you COULD have gone with the interpretation of "Well, it's true for everyone." But you decided to go with the interpretation that could let you complain about it, instead.

Maybe because this sub is not about the US? And this kind of stuff happens all the time in here? And again, I was so not wrong that they added the flair hehe But yeah, go on to live your happy alienated gringo life, is not like your country fucked with mine a lot to give reason for any kind of hatred towards your (as country) magnanimous self centeredness, no no, people just complain and you are just so great right?
