2018 seems destined to be remembered as a year with no violent tornadoes (EF4+) confirmed in the United States, a first in modern history. (unless we’re jinxing it, hopefully not)
Despite a nearly all-around odd tornado year, where the biggest and most stunning events were in places that don’t typically see such twisters, it serves as a reminder that there are memorable days in all years.
All years: 2022 | 2021 | 2020 | 2019 | 2018 | 2017 | 2016 | 2015 | 2014 | 2013 | 2012
While you won’t see Oklahoma represented in this year’s collection, you will see some amazing twisters.
