Yes. Since records began in 1950 there have been 3.

No. The highest category possible is F5.
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.
No tornado has ever been stronger than F5. Fujita scale ratings are based on damage and F5 damage damage is total destruction. This makes it impossible to assign a higher rating.
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. It is possible for a tornado to rapidly intensify due to various atmospheric conditions, leading to an increase in intensity from an F1 to an F5 tornado.
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.
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.
No. No tornado stronger than F5 has ever been recorded.
No. There have been no F5 tornadoes recorded in or near Ada.
The New Richmond, Wisconsin tornado of 1899 was an F5.
No. Florida has never recorded an F5 or EF5 tornado.
Yes, there have been dozens of F5 Tornadoes. One of the most historic was in Oklahoma on May 3 1999.
It is unlikely. There has never been a recorded F5 tornado in Colorado.
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.
Yes. Cincinnati has been hit by a number of tornadoes, including an F5.
No. There has never been an F5 tornado recorded in Colorado. It has had a handful of F4 tornadoes.
As with all places, most tornadoes in Wisconsin are weak. Wisconsin has had its fair share of strong tornadoes, though not as many as in Tornado Alley. A few tornadoes in the state have been rated F5.
Yes, The F5 tornado that hit the Oklahoma City area on May 3, 1999 had winds of 302mph +/- 20mph.
