The Flint, Michigan tornado of June 8, 1953
The Xenia, Ohio tornado of April 3, 1974

Since 1950 there have been 59 confirmed F5 or EF5 tornadoes.
The number may even be higher as some ratings are disputed.
Some of these include The Edmonton, Alberta tornado of July 31, 1987 and the Red Rock, Oklahoma tornado of April 26, 1991. Both of these were officially rated F4, but likely reached F5 intensity.

Examples of powerful tornadoes in recent years included the 2013 Moore tornado, the 2011 Joplin tornado, and the 2011 Smithville, Mississippi tornado.
