What a weird take. Europe has extreme weather to match North America.

Any Texans wanting to talk about their special case can have a look at Iberia and its meteorology, for example.

The notion that North American weather is anomalistic is false.

I'm not the one that came up with the idea that the US has worse weather. I got the idea from that article.

>The volatile weather in the eastern United States differs from the more moderate climates of western Europe because it is largely controlled by eastward-flowing air masses that approach over land instead of air masses that arrive from over the ocean and cause temperatures to shift more gradually.

Europe doesn't have hurricanes. Europe has 1/4 as many tornadoes as the US.

Which part of Iberia's weather are you referring to?
