An EF-2 tornado started in Carroll County near County Road 121 and damaged a few softwood trees, then continued northeast across County Road 100 where more intense tree damage occurred. Trees were snapped, and the roof of a home was damaged. The tornado continued northeast across County Road 90 and County Road 16 and snapped more trees along the way. As the tornado approached MS Highway 17, a notable change occurred. Intensity increased, and the tornado grew in size. Additionally, just to the northwest of the path, multiple downed trees were noted along County Road 92 and 93. Here, a surge in the RFD evolved and aided in the growth and intensification of the tornado. The tornado crossed Highway 17 where it snapped power poles and numerous trees along with damage to a roof of a home. The tornado then crossed County Road 94 and I-55 and snapped power poles and numerous trees. A large tractor shed was destroyed, and extensive tree damage occurred. A truck was also thrown 30 yards and left under trees. A tractor trailer on I-55 was overturned. The tornado continued into Montgomery County near Wilkins Chapel Road and damaged the roof of a home along Sayles Road along with numerous trees and power poles. The tornado continued northeast into Grenada County and into the community of Elliott where it destroyed a mobile home, caused significant damage to a home and a large metal building, and snapped numerous power poles and trees. The tornado continued northeast across McCormick Road then across Camp McCain Road and snapped power poles and trees. The tornado crossed Mississippi Highway 8 and then ended near Butputter Road. Three injuries associated with this tornado occurred in Grenada County. The maximum estimated wind speeds in Carroll County were 115 mph. The total path length was 24.9 miles across the three counties.

An EF-2 tornado began near the bank of the Mississippi River in Issaquena County on the north side of Mayersville. It snapped some hardwood trees and power poles and damaged the roof of a home. As it continued along its path to the northeast, it completely destroyed a mobile home and leveled a barn. Pivots in a farmfield were overturned, and the roof of a home was damaged. The tornado tracked northeastward into Grace community where the most intense damage occurred. Several roofs were removed from homes, and dozens of power poles were snapped. The second story of a two-story home was collapsed and the roof of an older home was collapsed with debris strewn across the field. Hardwood trees were also snapped. The tornado crossed into Sharkey County near MS Highway 16 then continued northeast towards Nitta Yuma and US Highway 61. Numerous power poles were snapped along with softwood trees. The tornado continued towards Delta City. Damage became more sporadic with minor roof damage to an outbuilding and damage to a carport. The tornado dissipated just east of Delta City. The maximum estimated wind speeds in Issaquena County were 130 mph. The total path length was about 19.7 miles across the two counties.

There was scattered tree damage from MS Highway 43 to Wilson Welch Road.

A tree was blown down at the intersection of N. Sandhill Road and Gore Road.

A tree was blown down on US Highway 80 near Andrew Chapel Road.

This brief EF-0 tornado produced generally light damage to vegetation and fencing prior to crossing Highway 49 where it reached peak intensity with estimated winds as high as 85 mph as it downed several pine trees near a church. The tornado dissipated just east of the highway. Maximum Winds: 85 mph Width: 100 yards.

Several trees were blown down near Collier Cove.

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 single or double wide manufactured home with the debris swept away. Widespread snapped and uprooted trees were noted on ground surveys and via drone and satellite. Three fatalities were noted with this tornado. The ground survey team learned of at least 10 injuries from family members. This strong to violent tornado entered Marion County moving northeast near Morgantown Road and produced damage in the EF-2 to EF-3 range including great damage to forested areas as well as numerous homes including mobile homes and wood frame and brick veneer houses. The most intense damage areas in northwest Marion County were along Molly and Price roads and again at Whitebluff heading into the Pearl River bottom. The tornado carried northward through Whitebluff, crossed the Pearl River, and proceeded across Jefferson Davis County continuing to do substantial damage to vegetation and structures consistent with EF-2 to EF-3 intensity. There were corridors of more intense damage across Jefferson Davis County. Areas along Storey Parkman Road and Smith Road, as well as areas along Alex Daley Road and MS Highway 35. Just prior to crossing into Covington County, the tornado underwent structural changes and briefly weakened and became much smaller. Before it ultimately dissipated west of Collins, the tornado dramatically tightened to only 100-150 yards across. At this point, as the tornado crossed Blackjack New Chapel Road and Wilson Road, the much smaller tornado reached EF-3 intensity and destroyed several walls and removed the roof of a brick home. In the same vicinity, and just on the south side of Blackjack New Chapel Road, the tornado demolished a mobile home, wrapping and suspending its frame between two large pine trees. Nearby, a large mature oak was left a splintered stump. The vortex intensified further becoming a violent EF-4 tornado as it impacted a small home on Wilson Road, destroying it completely and clearing much of the debris free of the concrete slab. A tractor trailer nearby was overturned and pulled 30-40 yards into the vortex. Two mobile homes were completely destroyed including one which was thrown to the west, opposite of storm motion. Additionally, a metal building system workshop was partially impacted by the tornado vortex, and its frame became twisted with portions of the iron beams becoming lofted and thrown. The particular house destroyed had a portion of the home located within mixed debris on the west side of the slab foundation and the remainder of the home debris strewn downstream. Of note, two reclining chairs were located in the living room of the home according to witnesses. One was discovered in each debris pile despite originating in close proximity. The home showed minimal signs of rot or structural fatigue, but the anchoring system had fewer anchor bolts than is of typical construction and the bolts were placed closer to the edge of the concrete slab than is typical as well. These structural deficiencies preclude consideration of higher assessment despite the completeness of destruction. The resident of this home fled to a brick building upon receiving storm warning. The tornado continued northeast at a generally weakening, but still strong, intensity as it moved across Spring Hill School Road. The tornado dissipated in a forested area just north of the road west of Collins, MS. Coincidentally, 41 minutes later a second strong tornado would intersect this path as well, just north of Spring Hill School Road and just prior to the end point of this long track violent tornado. The estimated maximum wind speeds in Marion County were 140 mph. The total path length was 67.6 miles across the 6 parishes and counties.

This tornado was observed developing north of Interstate 20 between Newton and Hickory by storm chasers. It tracked northeastward across MS Highway 503 then northeastward through the Lebanon community, and lifted near the intersection of Chapel Hill Road and Barnett Rd. Several trees were uprooted and snapped along the path. Relatively minor structural damage occurred along the path due to wind, including two homes on AC Thompson which sustained minor damage, and a carport which was damaged along Chapel Hill Rd. Estimated maximum winds were 105 mph.

An EF-3 tornado touched down just southwest of Tylertown, MS in Walthall County and tracked through Darbun and into Marion County. This is the second Tylertown tornado of this severe weather episode, the one that tracked just to the east of the stronger one. This tornado moved northeast with many destroyed single and double wide manufactured homes along the entire track as well as miles and miles of snapped and uprooted trees. The EF-3 140 mph points were all destroyed and swept clean manufactured homes. There was one fatality noted in one of these homes in Walthall County. Satellite and drone imagery and ground surveys found multiple locations with a width around 0.5 miles or 880 yards. The tornado continued into Marion County near Darbun and tracked northeast across the Pearl River and dissipated at River Bend Road. It produced EF-2 rated damage from the Walthall County line to Morgantown Road. A couple of chicken coops were destroyed along with a handful of mobile homes. Several other homes suffered varying degrees of damage along with numerous power lines downed. Extensive tree damage was also noted. The tornado began to narrow and weaken as it crossed Holly Springs Road and MS Highway 587. Maximum estimated wind speeds in Marion County were 130 mph. The total path length was across Walthall and Marion counties was 25.83 miles. There were 2 injuries associated with this tornado in Marion County.

Heavy rainfall caused multiple streets and roads to flood across the Duck Hill city limits.

An EF-2 tornado touched down west of Hopewell near Roscoe McDaniel Road in Covington County where it damaged trees. It moved northeast, damaged the roof of a home, and destroyed a barn on Cole Road. The tornado then moved along Jones Chapel Road where numerous mobile homes were destroyed. A wood frame home atop CMU block was pushed off this foundation. The tornado continued northeast to the west of Hot Coffee and crossed MS Highway 532. Numerous additional mobile homes were completely destroyed including one which was thrown into a ravine. Notably, of all the mobile homes destroyed, no vehicles in the driveways were thrown nor shifted more than a few inches across the ground. As it continued northeast, the tornado crossed mostly rural portions of the county. It impacted a home on Gilmer Road where the roof of a brick home was removed. Dense forest was largely damaged or flattened in the vicinity of Oakahay Creek, and damage was noted to outbuildings. The tornado encountered a community of primarily mobile homes near Ben Stroud Lane. Numerous residents who had returned to begin clean up informed NWS surveyors that almost all of the community members had fled due to dire forecasts and tornado warnings. Several mobile homes were destroyed in this area. The tornado continued northeast and damaged forest, outbuildings, and mobile homes as it crossed into Smith County west of MS Highway 37. Near Highway 37 just south of Taylorsville, one couple recounted a harrowing tale of riding out the storm by accident in their vehicle while their brick house lost portions of a wall and the roof in front of them. The tornado moved across eastern portions of the town of Taylorsville and did consistent higher-end EF-2 damage to homes, businesses, and a large amount of trees. One older home on a hill and devoid of tree protection sustained heavy roof damage, and a wall was knocked down. Another wood frame house was completely destroyed, though investigation determined the home was heavily compromised due to termites and rot. On Comfort Street, a business had a block wall collapse because the windward facing wall consisted of numerous open sections (similar in construction to an older automotive shop). The tornado impacted the high school sporting complex where a field house was damaged, and the outfield wall of a baseball field was pushed down adjacent to substantial damage to adjacent forest. The tornado continued northeast with general weakening until it dissipated along County Road 9. The estimated maximum wind speeds in Covington County were 130 mph. The path length was 16.24 miles across the two counties. There were 11 injuries associated with this tornado.

Multiple trees were blown down Near MS Highway 472.

An EF-2 tornado began southeast of Santee in Jefferson Davis County and moved northeast along Santee Methodist Road with widespread damage to trees as it moved northeast across eastern Jefferson Davis County. It crossed Bowie Creek and into Covington County near Wilson Road. The tornado destroyed several commercial chicken houses and crossed Blackjack New Chapel Road.
