Best Answer

Tornadoes of any intensity can merge, however, it would be extremely unusual for two F5 tornadoes to be in such close proximity.

The closest this came to happening in Kansas in 1990. As the Hesston, Kansas tornado was beginning to dissipate the tornado that would later hit Gossel, Kansas was forming. The two tornadoes neared each other and eventually the smaller Hesston tornado, which was in its "rope-out" stage was absorbed into the other, intensifying tornado. Although both tornadoes were ultimately rated F5, neither was at F5 intensity when the two twisters merged.

Do tornadoes move towards each other?

Generally not. When a weather event produces mutliple tornadoes at a time, they are usually far enough apart that they do not interact, so instead they move on more-or-less parallel paths.
