The message
from "ned" contains these words:

And should you live in a tornado belt, would you want a tree of that
size toppling on your house?

We don't tend to have really large tornados in the UK.

The most powerful I've (nearly) experienced was when one tore up the A
140 through Long Stratton and removed most of the tiles from the roofs
on one side of the road.

And a local café owner looked out of the window to see his Merc sliding
by on its roof.

No trees uprooted, broken etc.

However, we do have the occasional hurricane.......
