Yes. There are six strength categories of tornado on the Enhanced Fujita scale ranging from EF0 at the weakest to EF5 at the strongest.
On The Fujita scale and the later Enhanced Fujita scale there are 6 categories: F0 to F5 and EF0 to EF5 respectively. The TORRO scale, used by some European countries, has 12 categories from T0 to T11, with every two categories equivalent to one category on the Fujita scale.
Severe thunderstorms have the potential of producing a tornado with little or no advanced tornado warning.
Yes. The Enhanced Fujita scale has six intensity categories ranging from EF0 for the weakest tornadoes to EF5 for the strongest. This identifies different levels of strength rather than actual types of tornado. As far as actual types, there are classic supercell tornadoes, which form from a larger mesocyclone, and weaker landspouts, which form as a result of processes beneath a thunderstorm.
I used to live in Tornado Alley... a tornado watch means that the weather conditions mean it is very likely that a tornado will form in an area. A tornado warning means a tornado has touched down nearby.
A tornado is also commonly known as a cyclone.

No. The very first Fujita scale included an F6 but the categorization was never used - F5 is the highest a tornado can be.
The deadliest tornado in Mississippi was the Natchez, Mississippi tornado of May 6, 1840. It killed 317 people, making it the second deadliest tornado in U.S. history.

The strength of a tornado is typically determined using the Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF Scale) based on the estimated wind speeds and the damage caused by the tornado. Researchers survey the damage to structures, vegetation, and other objects in the tornado's path to assign it a rating on the scale.

Not really. There are theoretical categories up to F12, but they are not used in practice. F5 is the highest rating that is actually used. Since the scale is technically based on damage and F5 damage is total destruction there is no room for a higher category.
F4 and F5 are the two strongest categories of tornado on the Fujita scale. A damage based scale which rates tornadoes from F0 to F5. An F4 tornado will reduce most houses to piles of rubble. An F5 tornado will completely annihilate almost any house and wipe it clean off its foundation. Winds in an F5 can exceed 300 mph.
Silicates, elements, sulfides, phosphates, oxides, and carbonates are six categories of minerals.
