2 large-scale weather events that I can think of would be hurricanes and tornadoes.

In order for a tropical storm to be a hurricane, it must sustain winds of 75+ MPH. Hurricanes are classified by category on the saffir Simpson scale. Should a hurricane have sustained winds of 156+ MPH, that would be considered a Category 5 Hurricane. Tornadoes are classified on the Fujita scale based on the amount of damage the tornado causes and the wind speed that the tornado reaches.
