Not necessarily. Although F5 tornadoes tend to be very large, ratings are based on damage severity, not size. The largest tornado on record, the El Reno Oklahoma tornado of May 31, 2013, was rated EF3, and the record holder for several years was the F4 tornado that hit Hallam, Nebraska on May 22, 2004.
No, Colorado has never recorded an F5 or EF5 tornado, the strongest was an F4. The largest tornado (by path width) on record in Colorado was rated EF3.
The worst tornado in U.S. history, the Tri-State tornado, was an F5. The worst tornado in the world was the Daultapur/Saturia Bangladesh tornado of April 25 1989. The intensity of this tornado is unknown.
There have been many F5 tornadoes. See the link below for a list.
It is unlikely. There has never been a recorded F5 tornado in Colorado.
No. Florida has never recorded an F5 or EF5 tornado.
The strongest category of tornado is EF5 (F5 in countries that still use the original Fujita scale). However, although these tornadoes are the strongest they are not always the largest. In fact, for nine years the largest tornado on record, which hit Hallam, Nebraska on May 22, 2004 was an F4. Though weaker than an F5 this is still and extremely powerful tornado. This was later surpassed by the El Reno, Oklahoma tornado of May 31, 2013, which was rated EF5.
The most recent F5/EF5 tornado was the Moore, Oklahoma tornado of May 20, 2013.
An F5 tornado does not form directly from an F1 tornado. Tornado intensity is determined by the Enhanced Fujita Scale based on wind speeds and damage. It is possible for a tornado to rapidly intensify due to various atmospheric conditions, leading to an increase in intensity from an F1 to an F5 tornado.
The Waco tornado was an F5.
No. There has never been an F5 tornado recorded in Colorado. It has had a handful of F4 tornadoes.
Any tornado can be dangerous. An F5 tornado is extremely dangerous. Hit by the full force of an F5 tornado, even the strongest houses will be swept away. Many F5 tornadoes are quite large, capable of leveling whole neighborhoods and killing dozens in a matter of minutes.
To date there have been no F5 tornadoes in the Freedom area since 1950. If you are referring to the 1984 tornado, it was an F4.
