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.
No. Florida has never recorded an F5 or EF5 tornado.
No, fortunately I have not seen an EF5 tornado, that is in real life So, Yeah
There is no set upper limit for an EF5 tornado. Any tornado with estimated winds in excess of 200 mph is considered an EF5.
An EF5 tornado has winds in excess of 200 mph.
Yes. Tennessee had an F5 tornado on March 23, 1923 and another on April 16, 1998. Also of note is an EF5 tornado that moved into Tennessee on April 27, 2011 but by that time had weakened below EF5 strength. All the EF5 damage from that tornado took place in Alabama.
It depends on the shelter. Though most are safe for anything but an EF5 tornado, which is extremely rare.
It is possible but quite unlikely. No F5 or EF5 tornado has ever been recorded in the State of New York, but there have been a few F4 tornadoes. One tornado in Massachusetts in 1953 was possibly an F5.
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.
No. EF5 is the strongest tornado on the Enhanced Fujita and therefore the most dangerous type.
The worst level a tornado can attain is F5 on the old Fujita scale or EF5 on the newer Enhanced Fujita scale.
The one EF5 tornado in Oklahoma in 2011 occurred on May 24.
No, but it is given a rating based on the EF scale which ranges from EF0-EF5. EF0- Weakest tornado. EF5- Most violent tornado.
