Breakdown of Tornado Intensity in South Carolina

Ever wonder how many strong or weak tornadoes we get in South Carolina? Thanks to @mlgriffinWX1 for the answer – summarized in her tweet today.

“Out of the 1,038 tornadoes on record for the state between 1950 and 2019, (E)F3+ tornadoes make up only 4% of all tornadoes that have hit South Carolina. (3% for (E)F3, 1% for (E)F4). Over those 70 years, there is no record of an (E)F5 tornado anywhere in the state.”
