I'm sure as you know, EF5 tornadoes are the strongest most dangerous tornadoes on the Earth. EF5 tornadoes can blow away a house in a couple seconds and the damage from an EF5 can be pretty horrifying.

No. While most tornadoes rotate in a direction that matches earth's (clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern), a small percentage go against this. The origin of the spin in tornadoes is not directly related to earth's rotation. Most tornadoes also move in an easterly direction, but not always.
