No. There has never been an F5 tornado recorded in Colorado. It has had a handful of F4 tornadoes.
About .05% of all tornadoes are rated F5 or EF5. Or, in other terms, about 1 tornado in every 2000.
The most destructive tornado in Ohio history was the Xenia tornado of April 3, 1974. This F5 tornado killed 34 people and caused $439 million in property damage (in 2011 U.S. dollars).
F5 is not a category used to rate hurricanes. The Fujita or "F" scale is only used for rating tornadoes.Hurricanes are rated on the Saffir-Simpson scale in which a category 5 hurricane has sustained winds of at least 156 mph.Fujita scale winds are only estimates, but the original estimates wind speed for an F5 tornado were 261 to 318 mph. However, this estimate is no believed to have been far too high and has been change on the Enhanced Fujita or "EF" scale to anything over 200 mph for an EF5 tornado.
On its own, tornado is simply a noun. As with any noun, whether it is the subject or the object depends on how it is used in the sentence. In this sentence, "tornado" is the subject while "houses" is the object: "The tornado destroyed several houses." In this one, "tornadoes" is the object: "I saw a tornado."
It could be any of a whirlwind, tornado, hurricane, cyclone, twister, vortex or dust devil.
It is unlikely. There has never been a recorded F5 tornado in Colorado.
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.
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.
F4 and F5 are the two strongest categories of tornado on the Fujita scale. A damage based scale which rates tornadoes from F0 to F5. An F4 tornado will reduce most houses to piles of rubble. An F5 tornado will completely annihilate almost any house and wipe it clean off its foundation. Winds in an F5 can exceed 300 mph.
There are theoretical categories beyond F5 but none of theme have ever been used. Since F5 damage is total destruction there is no real way of rating a tornado higher than F5. Also, a tornado's rating is not dependent on its size. So a bigger tornado does not necessarily get a higher rating.
The F5 tornado of 1999 May 3, 1999 does not have a name, nor does any tornado. It is often called the Oklahoma City tornado, the Moore tornado, or the Bridge Creek-Moore tornado in reference to the areas it hit.
No. Florida has never recorded an F5 or EF5 tornado.
Tornadoes fluctuate in intensity. An F5 tornado is only at F5 strength for part of the time it is on the ground.
The most recent F5/EF5 tornado was the Moore, Oklahoma tornado of May 20, 2013.
The rarest rating for a tornado is F5.
The Waco tornado was an F5.
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.
