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.

How many people did the most powerful tornado kill?

There is no way of knowing for certain what the most powerful tornado was. Once a tornado reaches F5 strength it is difficult to tell whether or not it was stronger than any other F5. The tornado with the strongest recorded winds, the OKC area tornado of May 3, 1999 killed 36. However, other F5 tornadoes that did not have their winds measured may have been stronger.
