In a year that saw a pair of destructive hurricanes and a massive winter storm, there was one thing that did not touch down in 2018: a single violent tornado.
Tornadoes are rated on a scale from EF-0 to EF-5, with 5 being the strongest with winds of over 200 mph and “incredible,” damage, according to the National Weather Service .
In order to be classified as a “violent tornado,” the ranking must be an EF-4 with winds between 166 and 200 mph, or an EF-5.
