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.

Tornadoes are classified on the Fujita scale based on the amount of damage the tornado causes and the wind speed that the tornado reaches.
