No F5 in the 21st Century

Recently, there has been a downturn in F5 tornadoes in the United States. The U.S. has had several F4's in the 21st century, but no F5's. This is most likely largely due to more stringent engineering analysis during damage surveys by the National Weather Service Quick Response Team which now investigates possible violent class (F4-F5) tornadoes.
