It was found from a National Weather Service Storm Survey that two different tornadoes of similar strength, width and distance, tracked east and southeast of Wiggins, MS. (See April 00 Storm Data) The first began in Wiggins near State Highways 29 and 26. The tornado moved northeast crossing State Highway 26 near 4th Street, then moved across Clubhouse Drive and went back into the clouds near McGregor and Big Four Roads. The tornado was a F0, about 50 yards wide and traveled mostly at tree top level, a distance of approximately 2 miles. Almost all of the damage was to trees, except at 4th Street and State Highway 26, where an auto parts store had its windows blown out by debris. High winds then pushed one side of the cinder block store over. An old building near the store, that had been vacant for some time, was blown over.
