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.
The last F5 or EF5 tornado in Iowa was on May 25, 2008 when a large tornado caused EF5 damage in the towns of Parkersburg and New Hartford, Iowa.
No state in or west of the Rockies has ever recorded an F5 or EF5 tornado. These include Alaska, Hawaii, Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico. Other states without recorded F5 or EF5 tornadoes are on the east coast including Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts*, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia**, and Florida. *The Worcester, Massachusetts tornado of 1953 was officially an F4 but is believed by some to have been an F5. **One EF5 tornado in 2011 crossed into Georgia but was only an EF5 during its time in Alabama.
