You don't know better than the BMX survey team, and that's a fact. Now can it...Umm...even trained specialists assigned an “EF4” rating to Vilonia. With all due respect, you are not a specialist either, and specialists are not gods (no one is God but the God, and I don’t claim to be God)...
As for that Wrangler “EF3” damage:

Massive scouring, debarking, shredding of vehicles, and granulation on the Wrangler property itself, but...EF3. Okay...
I won’t go off topic and venture into personal asides, but I felt honour-bound to clarify this.
Otherwise, my point on Rolling Fork still stands: there is no solid evidence of anything higher than mid-range EF4 at this stage.

Severe WX March 23-25th, 2023
- Thread starter Lake Martin EF4
- Start date
Im concerned about some of the smaller communities just to the SW of Amory which would have either taken a direct or very nearly direct hit from the tornado as it was nearing peak intensity. I hope its not too bad.

Can we all stop arguing about Hackleburg and get back to this event please?
Does Mississippi ema have a briefing today?
Sorry. If there's one thing that sets me off, it's ignorance wrapped in an air of baseless confidence. I can't just bite my tongue when it happens. Anyway moving on...

Yes, this was the Rolling Fork tornado. We were traveling north on highway 61 into town and witnessed the intense tornado blow transformers.
This is one of the more impressive damage pics I've seen

As for the lights rotating around the tornado a long shot idea. Sometimes they do road construction at night and have those really bright spotlights on carts so they can see what they are doing. Doubt that is what is going on here with severe weather coming they probably wouldnt be working just throwing out a theory lol

If you go to this video and start about 4:15 in you can see the orb flying around to what someone was referencing in here earlier
So they're coordinating with Jackson and Birmingham offices. They really wanna get this thing wrapped upMEG

Its so heartwrenching to wake up to see that so many lost their lives...
Yep, Mississippi ema says they expect it to continue to rise unfortunately.
Not sure at how they rank the ratings but I have seen similar trees completely debarked like this that where ef4-5 tornadoes.
Lots of different trees than have different debarking wind speeds but just at looks it seems similar to some of the ef4-5 damage I've seen on Google images.
Seems some of these places had extreme cut off on damage intensity.
Joplin Missouri I remember had completely debarked trees with sheet metal wrapped around them.
