Severe WX March 23-25th, 2023
- Thread starter Lake Martin EF4
- Start date
There was one photo I saw of a partially swept away home and some ground scouring to the NE of Rolling Fork - though I can't be sure if it is the same as the EF4 DI in the photo. I think I sent it on here.
It is getting very dangerous even to be out during daylight hours with the complete disregard for other vehicles and traffic laws.

Documenting some of the most impressive damage Mississippi has ever seen. Since 2014 I’d say. Yeah bass field was nuts but that was rural for most of its life.

Been a while since I've seen vehicle damage that extreme.

Yeah that's some fairly high end vehicle damage, worse than it seemed a couple days ago; combined with the level of tree damage I'd say contextuals might support 180-185ish
Good analog for this thing is the Louisville MS tornado from 4/28/2014. It had a similar radar VROT/TDS combination and the damage is comparable, especially to trees.

Exactly my thoughts
High resolution aerial imagery of the aftermath near Rolling Fork. This thing was, if it isn't already evident, a monster.

Jordan Hall's footage is the most impressive contextual damage I've seen from this tornado thus far—more consistent debarking and every vehicle in that field is pretty mashed up. The school bus and that line of trees towards the end particularly so.

I found this by just searching on the dat. The feature where you can add imagery. I have no idea who made this.
By that. I mean there was no name I could tell, was a name. I just searched rolling fork and this was one of the options

Reviewing all the of the evidence thus far, in my opinion.
The Rolling Fork tornado had 170-175mph winds in terms of “traditional” damage.
With winds ranging between 185-190mph in terms of “conceptual” damage.
Partially to mostly debarked vegetation and middle echelon vehicle damage which is the worst I’ve seen since mayfield.
Overall quite a solid and unfortunately deadly tornado that will definitely be yet another hallmark example of what a violent twister is capable of.

Still preliminary I think.
So uh, Alex Sizemore from NWS Birmingham was out surveying the Rolling Fork tornado. He confirms via eyewitness account that the lights orbiting the tornado shown in the videos from Adam Lucio, Max Olson, and co. are indeed vehicles.
