Yes. It's a mater of geography. Our part of the continent and the way it is shaped (the amount of landmass) just happen to situated in just the right place where the cold, drier air from the northern regions (Canada) meets the warm, more humid (wetter) air from the south (the Gulf of Mexico). When these two air masses collide, you have a good recipe for tornado activity.
However, Europe also can get tornadoes, but very few and very far between. They don't the dramatic clash of such differing air masses as we do... Again, it is a matter of geography.

Yes, because we are situated just north of the Caribbean Sea and south of the cold winds from Canada, which mix and create tornadoes. Hope you get this answer, not sure if my DSL cable was broken when my house landed on that old witch....but gotta

yeap along with part of India and Bangladesh.
Twisters are the result of collision of hot and cold air and that phenomen is easy when north part of Guld of Mexico and cold air from North Pole came togheter.
Same in Bengal Bay, hot air too north and close to the Himalaya range with it´s cold air.
