Twenty three people lost their lives last night to this super cell that produced violent tornadoes that were on the ground tracking for close to 100 miles. As search & rescue efforts continue, that number will almost certainly climb. 😢

Rolling Fork MS, Silver City MS, Midnight MS, Amory MS, Smithville AL were struck by a very violent, more than a mile wide tornado. Debris was lofted to over 30,000 feet.

The tornado swallowed the entire town of Rolling Fork.

Horizontal vortices do not occur in weak to strong tornadoes- they only occur in the most violent of tornadoes.

A couple screen grabs from Aaron Rigsby’s 4k drone footage of damage in Rolling Fork MS. You can see ‘wind rowing’ of debris. And homes completely swept away & bare slabs.

Large hardwood trees with all limbs torn off & totally debarked by winds. Note that little to no debris wrapped on this tree: that was done by sheer power of the tornado winds.

These are EF-4 to EF-5 damage indicators.

Note the relatively uniform direction of the debris as the tornado came through. The direction the debris points shows you the direction of the tornado’s travel. Wind rowing.

That was a house. Note the damage to the tree too.

The gate to hate windspeed at this moment was measured near ground level at over 250 mph.
