The states that have had known F5 and EF5 tornadoes are: North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Wisconsin, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Indiana, Alabama, Ohio, and Pennsylvania have all had at least one F5 tornado.
Two other states worth mentioning are Georgia and Massachusetts. In 2011 a tornado rated EF5 crossed into Georgia from Alabama. However, it was in its dying stages when this happened, and was only at EF1 intensity in Georgia.
The tornado that hit Worcester, Massachusetts in 1953 was officially rated F4, but some experts believe it may have been an F5.
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.
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.
To date, no town in Texas has been hit by two F5 tornadoes. Worth mentioning, though is the town of Wichita Falls, Texas. It was hit by an F5 tornado on April 3, 1964 and an F4 tornado on April 10, 1979. The second tornado is the more famous of the two and is incorrectly believed by some to have been an F5.

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.
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.
