To date the have been no F5 or EF5 tornadoes in Georgia, though it has had a few F4 and EF4 tornadoes. However, one tornado is worth noting. The Rainsville, Alabama EF5 tornado of April 27, 2011 moved into Georgia where it caused some damage, however the only EF5 damage occurred in Alabama. Damage in Georgia was no higher than EF1 as the tornado was near the end of its life cycle when it crossed the state line. As such, it does not count as an EF5 for Georgia.
