There are 23 tornadoes recorded in the SPC Database for November 18, 1957. This Georgia twister had a very large width of 500 yards. It traveled 14.5 miles through parts of Chattooga County and damage was reported in the community of Gore. Three houses were destroyed along with several barns and chicken houses. The SPC does not have an injury for this event but one was recorded in the Climatological Data National Summary (CDNS). They report a man was injured when his car was blown off the road and it overturned several times.
When you plot the SPC coordinates, the tornado began in Chattanooga County. The ending point though is in Gordon County. Thomas Grazulis in Significant Tornadoes does not bring this twister into Gordon County. I could not find any information on this event in the newspapers.
