Yeah, the site I had looked at only listed them since 1950 (still showed 5 for Alabama since 1950 and I had mentally included the Lawrence Co, TN one since it was about 20 miles from my house).

The following site still lists Alabama with having as many F5s as any other state:

The disconcerting thing to me is that they are all clustered around north Alabama (where I am). :>(
