Is it true that tornadoes occur regularly in Europe every year?

Yes. A peer-reviewed pan-European climatology reports 9,563 tornadoes in Europe between 1800 and 2014, rising to about 242 per year in 2000–2014, and other sources confirm tornadoes occur in Europe, including an annual average of 14 in Finland.
