List of F4, EF4, and IF4 tornadoes (2020–present)

This page aims to list all tornadoes rated F4 (Fujita scale), EF4 (Enhanced Fujita scale), and IF4 (International Fujita scale) or higher that have occurred from January 1, 2020, to the present. These tornadoes represent a significant level of destruction, with winds estimated to be between 207 and 318 mph (333 and 512 km/h) for F4 and EF4 tornadoes, and corresponding values for IF4.

Criteria for Inclusion:

• The tornado must have occurred on or after January 1, 2020.
• The tornado must have been officially rated F4, EF4, or IF4 by a recognized meteorological agency (e.g., the National Weather Service in the United States, Environment Canada, or equivalent organizations using the International Fujita scale).
• The date, location (typically county and state/province/region), and rating of the tornado should be verifiable through official reports or reputable news sources citing official information.

Purpose:

This list serves as a historical record of significant tornado events in recent years. It allows for tracking trends in tornado activity, comparing the intensity and impact of major tornadoes, and providing a resource for researchers, meteorologists, and the general public interested in severe weather.

Important Considerations:

• Tornado ratings are often assigned after a damage survey is conducted. Therefore, the initial reports may not reflect the final rating.
• The Fujita scale and Enhanced Fujita scale are subjective scales based on observed damage. There can be uncertainties and variations in the assignment of ratings.
• The International Fujita scale is a more recently developed scale, and its usage may vary geographically.
• This list may not be exhaustive, particularly in areas with less developed meteorological monitoring systems.
• Data might not be immediately available for recent events.
