| 23:11Z | EF1 | KGWX | MS | Choctaw | Reform | An EF-1 tornado touched down near the intersection of Mississippi Highway 9 and Maddox Road, where a few trees were snapped or damaged. The tornado moved northeast and crossed the Natchez Trace Parkway where a few trees were blown down into the roadway. Along Hester Road, the tornado blew the roof off of a barn and snapped several nearby trees. Also in this area an RV was rolled on its side, and a tree fell onto and damaged another home. The tornado continued to snap and uproot trees along its path as it crossed Franklin Road and Breland Road, and it dissipated shortly after it crossed Mississippi Highway 15 near Sherwood Road. A home near Sherwood Road was partially damaged. The estimated peak wind speed was 90 mph. |
| 23:13Z | EF1 | KDGX | MS | Jefferson Davis | Bassfield | An EF-1 tornado touched down near the intersection of Bassfield Cemetery Road and McLeod Drive and then moved to the northeast. At the start, some tin was blown off a large shed and some power poles were broken. As it crossed Bass and South Williamsburg Roads, several trees were damaged and an awning was blow down. A brick home in the area had minor roof damage as well. The tornado peaked in intensity as it crossed Mississippi Highway 42, where a large metal shed had more than 80% of the roof blown off and numerous trees were snapped and uprooted. A more focused corridor of damage was noted here in the tree damage. The tornado dissipated after crossing Hosey Mikell Road. The estimated peak wind speed was 110 mph. A tornadic debris signature was observed on radar with this tornado, and storm chasers recorded footage of the tornado as it crossed Highway 42. |
| 00:03Z | EF3 | KPOE | LA | Caldwell | Holum | An EF-3 tornado with estimated maximum winds near 140 mph touched down along Highway 126 in rural Southeast Caldwell Parish, just southeast of the Holum community. The most intense damage of the tornado occurred here as two residences were essentially destroyed. One residence was a one or two family residence which had its roof and most of its walls removed, with many interior walls collapsed. One injury occurred at this home, but fortunately, was not significant. A nearby single-wide mobile home was also destroyed from this tornado. In addition, many barns and/or outbuildings were destroyed in this general location and at least several livestock were killed. The peak 140 mph EF-3 rating of this tornado occurred here as well, due to observed tree debarking near the one or two family residence. Significant ground scouring near where the livestock were killed was also observed. This ground scouring is usually a trait associated with very intense tornado vorticies, but it is not an official damage indicator used to rate tornadoes. ||From this location, the tornado continued roughly 3.5 miles east-northeast before crossing Wyant Road and the Twelve Mile Post Road intersection. The survey team did not have access in the 3.5 mile span before this intersection, but used available drone footage to confirm significant swaths of tree damage in this gap. Only tree damage was observed along Wyant Road, but the high level of tree snapping was enough to confirm EF-2 strength here. From here, the tornado continued along Wyant Road, which had turned northeast to criss-cross the tornado's path through the hillier terrain. The tornado damage showed a tendency for the tornado to narrow and weaken at times through the terrain, but it did continue without lifting until reaching the Ouachita River. Along the southwestern bank of the river, there were two homes that received significant damage and several outbuildings were totally destroyed with debris thrown into the river. The tornado crossed the river and did significant tree damage along Lee Lane. From there, the tornado continued east-northeast while gradually narrowing and weakening, crossing Highway 559 and Parish Road 6629. Based on a report from the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, additional trees were downed on an unnamed road just east of the intersection of Hotshot Road and Parish Road 6629, with satellite imagery supporting that the tornado finally lifted just east of this road over the Boeuf Wildlife Management Area. |
| 00:26Z | EF2 | KGWX | MS | Lowndes | Wells | An EF-2 tornado touched down just northwest of the city Steens along Jess Lyons Road on the north side of the Green Oaks Golf Course. Several softwood trees were uprooted at the start. The tornado continued east and northeast across mostly wooded areas and produced intermittent tree and vegetation damage. The steeple on Mt. Zion Church near the intersection of Wolfe Road and Neilson Road was blown over. The tornado quickly widened and intensified as it moved east of Wolfe Road, and an approximately 150 yard wide by 1.8 mile long swath of downed trees was observed on Sentinel-2 satellite imagery before the tornado reached Calendonia Steens Road. Several homes had broken windows, trees were snapped, and roofs were damaged near at Caledonia Steens Rd. As the tornado crossed Mississippi Highway 12, it attained its peak intensity of 132 mph. A house along Hwy 12 had many of its exterior walls collapsed. The fire house for Lowndes County Fire Department District One Station Two was severely damaged as well. The doors were blown in, the roof was blown off, and several panels were blown out or damaged. Trees were also snapped and uprooted along Hwy 12 and Jerry Reynolds Road, and then the tornado continued east across Vaughn Roberts Road where softwood trees were blown. The tornado dissipated before reaching the Alabama state border. A tornadic debris signature was observed on radar with this tornado. The estimated peak wind speed was 132 mph. |
| 00:30Z | EF2 | KDGX | MS | Jasper | Moss | An EF-2 tornado touched down southeast of Stringer near the intersection of County Roads 195 and 19. Trees were damaged or uprooted in this area, and two homes had minor roof damage. The tornado moved nort-northeast and crossed CR 193 where an older wooden home lost a significant portion of the roof, had its windows broken, and walls damaged. The tornado then turned to the northeast and crossed CR 21 where minor shingle damage was done to a home along with multiple uprooted nearby pine trees. The tornado then traveled across a large wooded creek bottom area. Satellite imagery indicated a swath of damaged or downed trees approximately 120 yards wide by 1.5 miles long between the Terrapin Creek and CR 23. The tornado broke a light pole and damaged a metal building as it crossed CR 23. It continued across more creek bottom land and then crossed CR 52816 near its intersection with Mississippi Highway 528. The most intense damage occurred here, where there was a focused path of damage to trees and buildings. There was heavy tree damage, a shed was destroyed and debris thrown a sizable distance, a well built brick home had the entire roof removed with sections thrown and deposited some distance away, and some chicken houses were heavily damaged. A few other homes in this vicinity were damaged but were just outside of the strong core. The tornado weakened as it moved past Highway 528. It dissipated near the intersection of CR 14 and 31. A tornadic debris signature was observed on radar with this tornado. The peak estimated wind wind speed was 120 mph. |
| 00:47Z | EF1 | KGWX | MS | Winston | High Pt | An EF-1 tornado began along Bethany-Ebenezer Road in northwestern Winston County.

| 01:06Z | EFU | KDGX | LA | Madison | Tendal Arpt | A storm chaser observed and filmed a tornado near the Tensas River and in the vicinity of the Tensas River National Wildlife Refuge. The video was relayed via Twitter. A follow-up NWS survey was unable to find conclusive evidence of damage along accessible roadways in the area, so the exact location and intensity of this tornado is unknown. |
| 01:32Z | EFU | KDGX | LA | Madison | Thomastown | A storm chaser observed and photographed a tornado northwest Mound, LA. Pictures were relayed via Twitter. A follow-up NWS survey was unable to find conclusive evidence of damage along accessible roadways in the area, so the exact location and intensity of this tornado is unknown. |
| 01:35Z | EF1 | KGWX | MS | Lowndes | Crawford | An EF-1 tornado began at Sam Hill Road and tracked northeast towards across US Highway 45. Several softwood trees were snapped or damaged in this area. After it crossed Highway 45, the tornado continued northeast across Swedenburg Road where it uprooted additional trees and downed large tree branches. The tornado dissipated before it reached Clarke Road. The estimated peak wind speed was 90 mph. A tornadic debris signature was observed on radar with this tornado. |
| 03:44Z | EF1 | KGWX | AL | Greene | Eutaw | National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage in eastern Greene County and determined that it was consistent with an EF1 tornado, with maximum winds near 110 mph. The tornado touched down in an inaccessible area west of Eutaw shortly before crossing Greene County Road 131 where it impacted the Sagewood Apartment complex. The most significant damage here was to the northernmost unit where the majority of the roof structure was peeled away and blown into the nearby tree line. Adjacent units only showed minor damage to shingles and to siding. Nearby timber damage was also not particularly intense, though there was a variety of sporadic uprooted and snapped tree trunks. Timber and powerline damage in this area was consistent with low-end EF-1. The tornado continued east-northeast toward Highway 14 where additional timber and power line damage was observed. Several homes sustained minor roof damage on Kirkwood Lane or were more significantly damaged by uprooted trees. The tornado crossed US Highway 11 causing additional tree damage. The tornado continued northeast towards the Black Warrior River where the path became inaccessible. The tornado crossed the Black Warrior and continued into Hale County. |
| 03:53Z | EFU | KBMX | AL | Hale | Evansville | This tornado crossed the Black Warrior River several times and this is a short segment that the tornado moved into Hale County from Greene County. The area was inaccessible so the segment was rated as unknown intensity. |
| 03:54Z | EFU | KBMX | AL | Greene | Mc Clure | This tornado crossed the Black Warrior River several times and this is a short segment that the tornado moved back into Greene County from Hale County. The area was inaccessible so the segment was rated as unknown intensity. |
| 03:55Z | EF1 | KBMX | AL | Hale | Akron | This tornado originated in Greene County and crossed the Black Warrior River into Hale County. The tornado tracked just south of the river for several miles. The first section of observable damage was in the Oak Village Community northwest of Akron. Several homes sustained significant damage near the riverfront where impressive timber damage was observed. The tornado continued northeast toward Stewart where additional timber damage was observed along Highway 42. A home sustained roof damage on Mileous Chapel Road. Near this area timber damage became very diverse in direction and damage intensity. The tornado was at its widest point here with a width around 1,200 yards. Based on the nature of the damage it is believed to have been in a multi-vortex state. The tornado then continued northeast and began to weaken with minor timber damage on Massey Loop Road. The tornado dissipated shortly after crossing Highway 69. |
| 06:28Z | EF0 | KBMX | AL | Walker | Dixie Spgs | A NWS Birmingham survey team was able to find very minor and spatially isolated timber damage along Tutwiler Road. This was the only damage observed on the survey. Radar data indicated a weak TVS northwest of Highway 69 in an inaccessible area. |
| 06:38Z | EF1 | KLIX | MS | Amite | Huron | An EF1 tornado with maximum winds of 110 MPH and a maximum width of 250 yards touched down on Jim Thomas Road southeast of Liberty, MS. The entire length of the track saw extensive and widespread tree damage consisting of large uprooted trees and snapped trees near the base with many notable convergent signatures. On Kermit Road, a residential house had part of its roof removed along with a destroyed barn. At this point, the tornado exited Amite County and entered Pike County between Kermit and Church roads. |
| 06:49Z | EF1 | KLIX | MS | Pike | Terrys Creek | An EF1 tornado with maximum winds of 100 MPH and a maximum width of 250 yards entered Pike County from Amite County between Kermit and Church Roads. As it moved east, on Church Road, an old building was damaged. These last two locations saw the max width of the tornado. On JJ Carter Road, there was extensive damage to a few manufactured homes. One was shifted off its foundation,|rotated backwards and rolled over at least once. Another lost its entire roof and a wall. The other homes had minor damage. Drone data were analyzed to fill in damage between here and I-55 where|extensive tree damage was noted along the highway. It moved east, damaging a camp on Highway 51 before lifting on Centerville Road. |
| 06:57Z | EF0 | KBMX | AL | Blount | Adville | National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage in the Locust Fork area of Blount County and determined that it was consistent with an EF0 tornado, with maximum winds near 65 mph. The tornado touched down in a heavily wooded area near the Locust Fork River, just west of Standridge Trail. The first observable damage was in the area of Standridge Trail where minor timber damage occurred. Two barns sustained roof damage and one camper trailer was rolled and destroyed. The tornado continued east toward Deaver Walker and Campbell Roads. The circulation was fairly broad. Most damage consisted of sporadic uprooted trees. A few structures had minor roof damage with at least two structures damaged by uprooted trees. The tornado moved generally east across Tabernacle Road and County Road 13, producing additional sporadic and minor timber damage. The tornado dissipated before crossing Highway 79. Given the weak nature of the circulation, most if not all damage was on the right side with debris facing in a N to NE direction indicating non-divergent damage relative to path. No damage was found on the north side of the damage path. |
| 07:11Z | EF1 | KMOB | AL | Marengo | Coxheath | National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage in southern Marengo County and determined that it was consistent with an EF1 tornado, with maximum winds near 110 mph. The tornado began in a wooded area southeast of County Road 6 to the southwest of Sweet Water. Tree damage was initially minor as it moved northeastward, with portions of roofs removed from a couple outbuildings as well as a patio overhang from a residence along Dogwood Lane and County Road 7. Damage was barely discernible as it moved northeast across Highway 10, but the tornado intensified as it crossed Sweetwater Creek. Numerous trees were snapped near Wayne Road; one of which was blown into and damaged the exterior wall of a double wide manufactured home. Damage to the manufactured home probably would have been much worse if it had not been well-anchored and had its roof attached with clips. A camper was also moved several feet. The tornado continued to snap and uproot trees as it crossed Union Grove Road and caused shingle and window damage to a residence. Tree damage was minor across Highway 43, but the tornado intensified again as it crossed Pillie Road and County Road 73. The tornado removed the roof from an addition to a manufactured home along County Road 47 before dissipating prior to reaching Highway 25. |
| 07:37Z | EF0 | KBMX | AL | Calhoun | Boiling Spgs | National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage in southwest Calhoun County and determined that it was consistent with an EF0 tornado, with maximum winds near 75 mph. The tornado began near the intersection of Mitchellville Road and Mayfield Road, where damage consisted of several uprooted trees and snapped trunks.|The tornado continued northeast toward Mudd Street where the most severe damage occurred at two residences. Two homes also sustained minor roof damage. The tornado likely dissipated as it moved past Mudd Street as no other damage was observed downstream. There was also evidence of a weak TDS associated with this tornado from the KBMX radar. |
| 07:49Z | EF2 | KLIX | MS | Marion | Jamestown | An EF-2 tornado touched down just north of Ten Mile Creek Road in southern Marion County where it initially produced minor tree damage. An outbuilding was blown over in this area as well. The tornado quickly intensified and damaged the roof of a residence as it moved eastward. Nearby trees, power poles, and a flag pole were also blown down. The tornado tracked eastward where it continued to intensify and reached its maximum intensity with approximately 125 mph winds. Here, a cellular tower along Dunaway Loop was destroyed. As the tornado crossed Mississippi Highway 35, outbuildings were damaged, and snapped and uprooted trees were common in a narrow path. Sentinel satellite imagery indicated that the tornado continued eastward across the Pearl River and dissipated just west of Old River Road. A tornadic debris signature was observed on radar with this tornado. |
| 08:27Z | EF1 | KMOB | MS | Greene | County Line | The tornado began near Highway 57 in Greene County where several|softwood tree trunks were snapped.

The tornado crossed|Highway 45 and hit Fruitdale High School where windows were|damaged along with roof damage to the school and nearby houses.|Widespread tree and power line damage was also observed in the|Fruitdale area. The damage in Fruitdale is estimated to have been|in the high EF-1 range with winds 105-110 mph. The tornado|continued northeast and strengthened as it approached Baxter|McIllwain Road. This is where the tornado reached peak intensity.|Based on the ground survey, a nearly 500 yard swath of major tree|damage was observed with countless hardwood and softwood trees|destroyed. The EF-3 peak intensity (140 mph) is based on this|swath of major tree damage. The tornado continued to track|eastward through Tibbie with more significant to major tree|damage (EF-2 intensity), along with roof damage observed along|Leo and Boyd Willie Parnell Road. The tornado weakened as it moved|east across Howardtown Road and dissipated east of Clarke Place|Road. |
| 08:30Z | EF3 | KMOB | AL | Washington | Fruitdale | The tornado began near Highway 57 in Greene County where several softwood tree trunks were snapped. It continued on an east northeast track producing damage along Nursery Road. The track continued into Washington County Alabama. The tornado crossed Highway 45 and hit Fruitdale High School where windows were damaged along with roof damage to the school and nearby houses. Widespread tree and power line damage was also observed in the Fruitdale area. The damage in Fruitdale is estimated to have been in the high EF-1 range with winds 105-110 mph. The tornado continued northeast and strengthened as it approached Baxter McIllwain Road. This is where the tornado reached peak intensity. Based on the ground survey, a nearly 500 yard swath of major tree damage was observed with countless hardwood and softwood trees destroyed. The EF-3 peak intensity (140 mph) is based on this swath of major tree damage. The tornado continued to track eastward through Tibbie with more significant to major tree damage (EF-2 intensity), along with roof damage observed along Leo and Boyd Willie Parnell Road. The tornado weakened as it moved east across Howardtown Road and dissipated east of Clarke Place Road. The tornado path received many cosmetic changes based on high resolution Planet and Worldview satellite imagery. The peak width was updated to be 700 yards. |
| 09:14Z | EF0 | KMXX | AL | Elmore | Prattville Jct | National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage in southwest Elmore County and determined that it was consistent with an EF0 tornado, with maximum winds near 65 mph. The tornado began just west of the Montgomery County line near the Alabama River Parkway, where an outbuilding and retaining wall were damaged. It tracked east and crossed the Alabama River into Montgomery County. |
| 09:15Z | EF2 | KMXX | AL | Montgomery | Boylston | National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage in Montgomery County and determined that it was consistent with an EF2 tornado, with maximum winds near 120 mph. The tornado crossed the Alabama River and into Montgomery County and continued east-northeastward towards Coosada Ferry Road, where it uprooted and snapped several pine trees. It strengthened as it reached Williams Road, where a manufactured home and a site-built home suffered roof damage. Just west of Franson Road two manufactured homes were completely destroyed with debris blown downstream. One manufactured home had some evidence of straps but the occupancy status of both are unknown. As the tornado moved into the Flatwood community, many homes had roof damage and damage from uprooted trees. Unfortunately an uprooted tree fell on a manufactured home, resulting in two fatalities and one serious injury. The concrete masonry unit community center also suffered collapse of all exterior walls. The tornado crossed Lower Wetumpka Road twice, continuing to snap and uproot trees and cause roof damage, with one home suffering complete roof loss. A couple of wooden transmission line poles fell north of Anderson Road. The tornado then crossed the Tallapoosa River into Elmore County. |
