      They're not getting bigger. There are more areas of densely packed communities now.
      There are tornadoes from the earlier half of the 20th century that have been restudied and classified as F4 and 5 based on extent and type of damage. Tornadoes are a relatively new phenomena in history books because the central USA has one of the highest incidents of tornadoes and it's only been in the last 150 years that this area of the US has seen a noticeable increase in population.
