Tornadoes and Damaging Winds in Mississippi, March 11, 2026

The damage path of an EF-0 tornado with estimated peak winds near 85 mph and max width was identified on high resolution satellite imagery in northeast Wilkinson County, just south of Perrytown, MS. Evident damage and displacement to trees were identified near Turkey Creek Rd which extended to the east-southeast through to Tom Crum Rd which was closely collocated to a strong area of rotation on KHDC. The majority of this damage path was inaccessible to ground survey and thus is rated via identifiable damage via satellite.

The damage path of an EF-1 tornado with maximum sustained winds of 90 mph and max width of 200 yards was identified via high resolution satellite imagery in northwest Amite County, north of Gloster, MS. This tornado caused damage and displacement to several trees including a swath west of Hwy 33 concurrent with an EF-1. Additional tree damage was identified along Hwy 33 near Homochitto Rd. This was corroborated by EM report of tree damage north of Gloster which also was collocated with a strong area of rotation on KHDC radar.

The damage path of an EF-0 tornado with maximum sustained winds near 85 mph and peak width of 150 yards was identified on high resolution satellite imagery in rural Amite County, north of Liberty, MS. Damage to tree tops were identified west of Pecan Rd. A focused path of damaged and displaced trees continued east-southeast through Meadville and Freeman Rd. The tornado evidently lifted after crossing Hwy 569, prior to reaching Newman Rd where no other damage could be identified. This damage path was collocated with a strong area of rotation of KHDC radar imagery.

Widespread tree damage across northeastern Amite county. Trees down on North Greensburg Rd, Moak Rd, Hwy 570, Thompson Rd, Hwy 569, Tangipahoa Rd, Jones Rd, Womack Lane, County Line Rd, and Spring Hill Rd. A tree was down on a house on Spring Hill Rd and the house was inaccessible due to the road being blocked by trees.

A strong EF-1 tornado touched down south of Hwy 570 near Moak Rd in Pike County, MS. This tornado rapidly strengthened and grew in size as it tracked to the east-northeast causing destruction of a wood frame farm outbuilding and increasingly significant treefall as it crossed Kodiak Ln and Magnolia Pisgah Rd. While there was a high proportion of treefall associated with this tornado in this area, a significant portion was due to uprooted trees from soft soils due to recent heavy rainfall. As such, maximum sustained winds were estimated near 110 mph despite the heavy deforestation. This level of heavy deforestation spanning approximately 375 yards wide at peak width continued across Hwy 570 to Dye Ln where tree damage rapidly became less significant. It's estimated that this tornado rapidly lifted as it crossed Magee Rd.

An EF-1 tornado with peak estimated winds near 105 mph and max width of 300 yards touched down near Johnston Chapel Rd. A broadly defined area of uprooted and damaged trees was identified via high resolution satellite imagery near the beginning of this path which continued east-southeast across Old Brookhaven Rd and Interstate 55. This damage was corroborated by a storm report with pictures of numerous uprooted trees near Chapel Dr. The tornado began to strengthen and increase in size with complex multi-vortex behaviors evident according to the damage path present after crossing I-55. Numerous trees were snapped and uprooted along US Hwy 51, Rollingwood Drive, and Johnston Station Rd. Additional tree damage was surveyed near Lakeside Drive on Southwest Mississippi Community College campus. The tornado continued east destroying a cinderblock dugout at North Pike High School. More tree damage was also identified on Barrett Drive and Jaguar Trail. Scattered pockets of wind damage were evident via ground survey across Barnett Rd and L.D. White Rd, but the most cohesive damage points representative of a tornado damage path were evident to the southeast as the multi-vortex tornado continued to produce patches and swaths of tree damage on high resolution satellite imagery near Hwy 570 and and River Ridge Rd. The tornado damage path evidently became incoherent after crossing River Ridge Rd and it's estimated the tornado lifted prior to reaching Hwy 44.

An EF-1 tornado with peak winds of 90 mph and width of 175 yards rapidly developed along Hwy 570, northwest of McComb, MS on the evening of March 11th. This tornado damage path was distinctly different to the predecessor tornado along Hwy 570 as most of the confluent damage was directed southeast and east as the KHDC velocity signature denoted the strong rotation center of this tornado diving southeastward along the highway. This tornado uprooted several trees, snapped the tops of tree trunks, tossed a golf cart approximately 70 yards, and caused minor roof damage to a couple homes as it tracked along the highway. Additional tree damage was near Delaware Avenue where confluence of damage direction was identified. These damage path characteristics are subject to change.

Multiple trees down around Gillsburg, MS and between MS Hwy 584 and MS Hwy 568.

Emergency management reported trees down near McNeill On Henleyfield McNeill Rd.

Emergency management reported trees down on Oak Point Road.

Emergency management reported trees down on Rock Ranch and George Ford Roads.

Roof damage to a home and a tree down at the intersection of Texas and Madison Streets.
