Tornado (EF3) — Jefferson Davis, Mississippi

Event narrative (NOAA)

An EF-4 tornado touched down in Tangipahoa Parish just northeast of Kentwood, LA and produced EF-1 damage northeast through most of Southeast Pike County in Mississippi. As it crossed into Walthall County, EF-2 damage was noted. Pockets of EF-3 damaged occurred all along the path as it continued through Walthall County. West of Tylertown on the north side of US Highway 98, a well built, well anchored home was swept from the foundation, leaving debris in a pile and thrown behind the home. This home was determined to have 170 MPH EF-4 damage. It is likely the tornado was at EF-4 strength at other parts on the track but with only manufactured homes in rural areas impacted, this house is currently the only EF-4 damage in Walthall County. The EF-3 damage throughout the county was all demolished
