Best Answer

There have been no confirmed F5 or EF5 tornadoes in Georgia* history but several F4 and EF4 tornadoes

For more details on these tornadoes from the past 62 years, see the related link below. Click on the markers for the tornadoes to find out about each one.

*One tornado on April 27, 2011 reached EF5 strength near the town of Rainsville, Alabama and later crossed into Georgia. However by the time it crossed the state line it was dissipating and was no stronger than an EF1 when it entered Georgia and so does not technically count as an EF5 for that state.

Where does the wind spin fastest in a tornado?

It depends on the tornado. If it is a single vortex tornado the winds near at the edge of the core will be the fastest. However, many of the strongest tornadoes are multivortex, meaning that they have smaller vorticies (almost like mini tornadoes) inside the main vortex. In a multivortex tornado the fastest winds are within these subvortices.
