re: Tornado! - Bassfield, MS rated EF-4 w/ 63 Mile Track, Peak Winds 170 mph

I was in the tornado path last night by all the tracking data, looks like it lifted when it came through our area though thankfully. A mile or so south is tore all to hell. Found pieces of roof shingles and home insulation all over the neighborhood, but none of the homes I flew my drone over this morning had damage that could correlate to that kind of damage. I had some slight shingle lifting on the back side of the house. Only thing I can think of is it carried the debris to us from the heavier hit area to the south.
I hang out in my basement a lot and had many thunderstorms roll through, I never hear them down there. This is the first time I have ever heard wind whipping around my house that fierce down there. It was wild.
My drone footage didn’t show much damage, but seen some from the mall and East Brainerd area that shows massive damage.

just found out one of the dead in MS was a cousin's daughter - she was at home, when one of the tornadoes hit - she apparently texted her mom right before it hit that she was hiding in the bathtub - sadly nothing left of the house but a slab - they lost everything and then some.

Survey team in Walthall County so far has a preliminary rating of EF2 on the first tornado. This is the same storm that moved through Bassfield and Soso. We will have more updates later. #MSwx

We have 3 teams on their way to survey storm damage today in southeast MS. There is a lot of area to cover so bear with us while we sort through all of the damage and data. We will post preliminary info as soon as our teams report it to us. Thanks!

The second long-track tornado from Easter Sunday hit the community of Oak Vale on the Lawrence/Jeff Davis county line around 4:45pm. Significant tree damage blocked Hwy 43 with some structural damage as well. [camera emoji]: Patricia O.

Our survey team has determined that a long track tornado produced EF3 damage w/ winds of 140 mph on Preserver Rd near Livingston, SC where a double wide home was destroyed. There are at least 2 fatalities & 7 injuries in Orangeburg Co. associated w/ this tornado
For South Carolina, EF3 is a damn strong tornado.

the EF3 tornado that hit New Orleans on 2/7/17 is the strongest in that city's history
just not many places are used to >EF2 tornadoes

Did the survey from the Tornado in Soso come back yet? Can’t find it anywhere

[red exclamation point emoji]PRELIMINARY RATINGS[red exclamation point emoji]
The Lawrence/Jeff Davis/Marion county tornado was rated an EF2.
The long-track tornado that went roughly southwest of Bassfield has a prelim rating of EF4 with peak winds of 170mph.
Again these are PRELIMINARY ratings and could change. So stay tuned!

there's a 13-tweet thread from @ULMWeather that shows there were actually twin tornadoes going on while the storm was in Monroe

ULM Weather @ULMweather
Quick review of our local tornado event yesterday. Let’s start here - this is an incredible shot from our radar of 2 concurrent tornadoes moving through Ouachita Parish at 11:40am. At this time T1 was south of I-20 crossing the river from West Monroe into Monroe. (1/n)
quote:
ULM Weather @ULMweather
And T2 was approaching Sterlington High School. Since our radar is dual-pol, we can distinguish b/w normal weather targets (like rain) from debris being lofted by a tornado. We see this as a decrease in CC - but it has to occur coincident with high Z and rotation in VR (2/n)
quote:
ULM Weather @ULMweather
That is very apparent in the radar image. Two clear “tornadic debris signatures” are evident from the ULM radar. (3/n)
quote:
ULM Weather @ULMweather
The tornadoes were embedded within a larger mesoscale convective system that initially formed in Texas overnight, likely produced tornadoes around Shreveport early Sunday morning, before continuing to track roughly along I-20. Here’s the MCS around 9:30am Sunday (4/n)
quote:
ULM Weather @ULMweather
The MCS appeared to interact with a warm front that was surging northward during the event. Here’s the NOAA surface analysis at 7am, 10am, and 1pm. This is important, because any part of the MCS that was north of the front was probably elevated. (5/n)
quote:
ULM Weather @ULMweather
Usually elevated convection means it’s hard to develop a tornado. But fronts can also help to enhance the local low-level shear, increasing tornado chances for any part of the convection that can actually become more surface based (i.e., just south of the front). (6/n)
quote:
ULM Weather @ULMweather
That seems like exactly what happened. Surface observations around the time the MCS made its approach to northeast LA indicate the warm front had surged north of Monroe - likely locally enhancing low-level shear and the convection no longer being elevated. (7/n)
quote:
ULM Weather @ULMweather
We were running our @NSF funded Doppler wind lidar during the event, and while low-level shear was already plenty intense, an increase in the ~sfc-500m AGL winds occurred near the time the warm front passed. Pay attention to the length of the red+yellow lines. (8/n)
quote:
ULM Weather @ULMweather
Now let’s examine the radar data a little closer. Here’s a loop specifically of the Monroe tornado. One thing that stands out is how the tornado developed along the northern end of a surge/bow in the line. GIF at ULM.edu link (9/n)
quote:
ULM Weather @ULMweather
This process stands out a little better on the radar images from 11:30-11:33am. By 11:33am we have a clear circulation, though no debris signature. That finally forms 2-min later. (10/n)
quote:
ULM Weather @ULMweather
We can track the debris signature, first impacting the Graphic Packaging paper mill, residential areas in south Monroe, the I20-165 interchange, residential areas north of Target, and into the airport. It also came *very* close to our radar. GIF at ULM.edu Link (11/n)
quote:
ULM Weather @ULMweather
The debris signature loses some definition towards the end of the loop, both as the tornado is likely dissipating, but also due to ground clutter contamination close to the radar site. (12/n)
quote:
ULM Weather @ULMweather
Finally (for now), the Sterlington tornado north of Monroe exhibited a great example of debris dispersion and fallout. Watch as the circular CC minimum expands and disperses as the tornado dissipates. GIF at ULM.edu Link (13/13)

The Bassfield tornado track is NOT complete and teams will continue when day light returns.
The 2nd long track tornado that begin in Lawrence county and continued into southern Smith county has a prelim rating of EF3. This track is also NOT complete.

The EF-3 rating comes with a 140 mph tornado wind estimate. This would match very well with the maximum velocity measured from our radar of ~150 mph at ~100 m AGL during the image.
