Best Answer

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.

Is there any tornado bigger than an F5?

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.

Depends on whether you mean Louisiana or Los Angeles. Louisiana has had one F5 tornado since 1900. No F4 or F5 tornado in the United States has ever been recorded west of the Rockies. This would make it incredibly unlikely that an F5 tornado might hit Los Angeles.
