No. An F0 tornado is simple a weak tornado, or one that does little to no damage. A gustnado is a vortex that resembles a tornado that forms in the outflow boundary of a severe thunderstorm. Gustnadoes can occasionally cause damage comparable to an F0 or F1 tornado, but they are not considered tornadoes.
F0 is the lowest category on the Fujita scale of tornado intensity, which ranges from F0 to F5. An F0 tornado causes relatively minor damage including broken tee limbs, weak-rooted trees toppled, missing roof tiles, and gutters peeled of. Tornadoes that stay in open fields and thus cause no damage are also rated F0. Originally F0 winds were estimated at 40-72 mph, but were adjusted to 65-85 mph on the Enhanced Fujita Scale (an EF0 tornado) but the damage is basically the same.
Yes. F0 is the lowest rating a tornado can receive. Such a tornado peels shingles, damages signs, and breaks tree limbs. Tornadoes that occur in open fields and cause no damage are also rated F0. About 60% of tornadoes receive F0 ratings.
There is no particular size, as tornado ratings are based on the severity of the damage caused, not the size of the tornado. That said, F0 tornadoes are typically small. Most are less than 100 yards wide.

"Light damage" is the term used to describe the damage caused by an F0 tornado.
Technically, a gustnado is not a tornado as it does not connect to the cloud base. Gustnadoes are comparable in strength to EF0 or EF1 tornadoes and rarely, if ever, kill.

There has never been an F6 tornado. F0 is the most common type.
The last tornado recorded to have hit Alaska was an F0 on Popof Island on June 25, 2005.

Yes. Baltimore was hit by an F2 tornado in 1973, an F0 tornado in 1996, an EF1 tornado in 2010, and an EF0 tornado in 2013.
Yes. Newport, Arkansas was hit by an F0 tornado in 1992 and an F1 tornado in 1999.
